  3. What is Trail # 43 like from Temiscaming to Waltham

    in Abitibi-Temiscamingue

    Posted

    Hello!

    We are looking to do a loop starting from North bay on Sunday and crossing into the Quebec Trails at Temiscaming and taking #43 to cross back east into Ontario at Pembroke (waltham). Can anyone advise what 43 is like as I'm trying to ensure it isn't a rail line (Like #63). I've checked it out on google maps satellite and it APPEARS to be a seasonal road so I'm encouraged by that.

    Also hoping that Lance's convenience is open and has gas at the halfway point.

    Any advice or comments on this trek would be great. Plan is to do the return leg of the loop from Pembroke to North bay on the Ontario side.

    Thank you!!!

    Sure is early in the season for that trip.  Going from Relais 22 west to Senetteree you could run into problems of it not being groomed that early.

    That would certainly spoil the trek. Plan is right now to book accommodations and adjust if necessary just before Christmas depending on the trail conditions posted. Would it be unusual, besides last season, for that stretch to be open at that time?

    Any recommendation for where we should consider as a backup plan during that time?

    You may want to adjust for a possible "Down Day".

    Just to pad your return.

    I like the 4Points in QC.

    Relay 22.... not known for their accommodations, but the pool is nice,  it can work in a pinch.

    Hotel Chateau Roberval was nice enough.

     Le Petit Manoir, I think I've seen it on the way to the Fairmont and it looked good too.

    Thanks for the reply... I know we have some good KM's in there but suspect we'll be OK.. if we need to cut it short we'll adapt :)

    I'm generally more concerned about fuel across the distances as the interactive map doesn't show all the spots however have found some on the physical map.

    Also -- had wanted to stay at fairmont in clermont but unfortunately they are all booked up for NYE.

    Hello!

    My brother and I are planning to take our first trek on the Quebec trails the last week of December and have mapped out a lengthy loop (about 2100km), but would appreciate any feedback (ie. things to see, suggested reroute, suggested hotel change, gas issues/long stretches without, etc).

    We are planning to drive up from just outside Toronto to stay at the Four Points Sheraton in Quebec City (where feeder 304 meets TQ3) on Boxing Day.

    Day 1 (Dec 27) - 333km up #3 & #73, staying at Le Relais 22 Milles

    Day 2 (Dec 28) - 483km #83 west, staying at Auberge Du Lac Faillon , just outside of Senetterre

    Day 3 (Dec 29) - 474km #93 North, staying at Marina Chibougamau

    Day 4 (Dec 30) - 294km #93 South-east to Roberval, staying at Hotel Chateau Roberval

    Day 5 (Dec 31) - 329km #23 -> 383 -> #83 -> #3 staying in Clermont  at Hotel-Pavillons Le Petit Manoir

    Day 6 (Jan 1) 172km back to Four Points Sheraton to load up and head home.
