Just North of LaTuque before Odanak.
Oh really! I thought it looked a lot like the new bridge linking Mekoos to Ste Anne du Lac.

Unfortunately, we took the old trail. BAD BAD BAD idea. In some places, it was completely grown closed. Not wide enough to walk through let alone take a SXS! I know what the followers were thinking about 100 yards into it. For that, I am still sorry but we made it. Dominic told me that he has a contract out to clear that trail (?soon?)…….. I will NOT take it again until that is confirmed.
Yup 2 years ago we were tunneling through there too, I can image how much more it’s grown in.

Very nice guys glad to hear it went well with out any issues.
From Martins into Clova did you guys take the old trail or the highway?
Were the blueberries ripe on the look out?

Have fun
Not sure if the UTVs will fit across the narrow sled bridge on the dam. Nice area for pictures, though.
Mike, they will fit across the other bridge further down river.

Thanks Je me souviens. That's the plan. Tentative itinerary now is to still start at Rabaska then......
Circle south and hit all of the scenery (Chutes Windigo, Devil's Mountain, etc.) and wind back up to Beauregard (still have to call them today as this is the only change SO FAR)
Beauregard to Le Cabanon (via Lac du Repos)
Le Cabanon over to Odanak (above La Tuque)
Odanak to Barrage Goiun
Barrage Gouin to Clova (circling the reservoir)
Clova to Kanawata
Kanawata to 100 Lacs
100 Lacs back to the truck at Rabaska (the scenic route)
I hope we can pull it off!!
Ike
Nice itinerary
A little tip, when leaving Barrage Gouin heading towards Obedjewan not far past it maybe 10 or 15 k heading towards Clova for the counterclock wise loop you’ll see a high mountain on your right, sticks out like sore thumb. Look for the trail that’ll bring you to the summit, awesome views and wild fruit for a snack.

Cross the river up the slope and it’s on your left 500’ in like the image.

Thank you sir! Even a screenshot or description of sorts would help. Hoping to pass through there and wanted to snoop around some!
Thanks again!
Ike
From north to south
When leaving the airstrip on the sled trail going to Casey you’ll cross a cement bridge over a narrow river with some houses to the right on the shore line, straight ahead less than a klm the trail goes up a slope, look to your left for a very narrow path like a hiking trail. That would be it, go 500’ in and your there.
Good luck

Out with the old.....
In with the new!!
2020 900 Turbo Renegade X
I ordered it with a 137" X 16" X 1.6. Should be an excellent trail track with a little extra floatation.
I put that same track on my 1200 Enduro, performs well on both sides but don’t expect miracles in the POW POW.
Congrats on your new purchase.

We did not get into the bunkers, I have heard about them and even found a video once, but I do not know how to access them. If you told me where the entrance is I will check it out next time.
Did you head up to pipmuacan yet? I was looking forward to your ride report, including snacks....😀
No Pip for me this year JmS, blew my tranny and rear diff, had trouble locating a good used one. In the shop now getting ready.
Pip gonna have to wait till next year cuz by the time the bike is back together it’s time for my next holiday then we’ll we we’ll into hunting season and we all know how much hunters like atvs running around in their territory.

Nice ride JmS, I sure do miss riding up there. Did you guys get a chance to visit the underground bunkers at the airstrip?

I just sent out reminder invoices that haven't been paid. Please let me know if you already paid it so I can cancel the invoice. Also, let me know aren't interested anymore so I can cancel the invoice.
Thanks for the support!
I don’t recall seeing one in my inbox, could you let me know if I’m up to date or need to be.

I don’t have much riding experience out of Shawinagan so I can’t speak much of that area.
Most of my/our riding is not in the trail network and done in back country roads and pathes north of Mt.Laurier and St.Zenon, I know these areas very well and have done a lot of riding up there.
Cabanon would be a good location to do loops out of and/or a 3-4 day trip, Ste Anne du Lac good to start trips from too Rabaska as well good for loops and trips. Cabanon and Rabaska would be safer parking when leaving for a few days all though I haven’t experienced or heard any bad reports of SAdL. In the past I’ve started a few trips out Relais Windigo by the falls but that place burned down a few years back and so we park in SAdL behind the motel and ride out to Rabaska or up to Lunic and beyond, more options there. There’s a new atv/snowmobile bridge built last year crossing the Riviere Lapin so getting to Mekoos on atv from SAdL is now possible with out having to go 10 klms south on the highway risking a ticket to catch a backroad up to Mekoos.
An interesting ride out of Cabanon, follow the sled trail up to the dam then on up to Repos and Kanawata, visit Casey and the runway. There’s even underground bunkers around the Casey runway that are interesting visits.
Out of SAdL or Rabaska head up ch Lepine to Clova then on to Martins on the reservoir Gouin, from there head west, some nice dams and dykes to see and you can return via Balbuzard back to Ch. Lepine, more runways to see over there too.
Good luck with your ventures

Nothing wrong with that flank steak, poor man’s filet mignon. Their speciality and they do it well.
Nice ride boys, next time stop at Mikes in Bertierville, Guy Lafleurs restaurant.
