mrgrumpers Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Through this together rather quickly but its a nice evenly paced route. Every sleeping location is marked so you can easily change the route. Roughly its about 1100 miles but some great stops and good sites. http://fcmq.fcmqapi.ca/i?s=IwGmFYA4E4BYGYAMjYgNoFoBsAmSXhUB2aHYHEcEoiEHeWcHAXTArWGCK3h0XBAZYCSIhA1g8aCDgFQRRHkiCcw6dmSjB0cE3iDRWdTnDxIRVpnKIiaoiFhEY9wuESQBwaPDPrC8LBRtCGhlDHpQxQNdYCwHYEgAsF4GeEsxMTQcCmBEeFAISwpYBIQSxG8HVkz9ACIAYQAJAEEAJQB5ACFaqvRyMFjezNyQWrzwHh7YS04wJ2Vp5iA&r=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this link: https://fcmq.fcmqapi.ca/fr/carte-cond.html#map when the trail map shows up, there will be 2 small square boxes in the top right (a snow flake, a location marker and a square) click on the location marker and a sublist will show up. Then click on safe hotel and then on accomodations. Places to stay (THAT PAY TO BE ON THE MAP) will show up. Click on ones you are interested in to get more info. Hope this helps.

Fuse6 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 If going up to Lac St Jean would be good if you could include Trail 373 that runs north of the lake. Beautiful ride across there and can see the new bridge that opened last year. Otis Nature is a good place to stay on the east end near trail 373 if it worked into your loop.Last winter we stayed in the newer chalet, had 5 beds in the bottom floor then there is a seperate apartment on second floor, not sure how many beds. wng-2 and 800steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my day to day trip stops with each place listed in image and text. It matches the same route I posted before. If you want more miles, you can play around with the interactive map and add some extra stops. The interactive map is very helpful as you can move routes around or do extra loops. Example would be on day 5 or 6 you could easily make them longer. Day 1 - Sunday - 183.1 miles - Leave Le Cabanon - Arrive Hotel Roquemont Day 2 - Monday - 173.7 miles - Leave Hotel Roquemont - Arrive Maison Carofanne Day 3 - Tuesday - 222.1 miles - Leave Maison Carofanne - Arrive Hote Cateau Roberval Day 4 - Wednesday - 233.1 miles - Leave Hote Cateau Roberval - Arrive Magasin general de Parent Day 5 - Thursday - 142.1 miles - Leave Magasin general de Parent - Arrive Pourvoirie Mekoos Day 6 - Friday - 149.1 miles - Leave Pourvoirie Mekoos - Arrive Le Cabanon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a few years since we stayed there but it was decent. No food on site but close by. Trail comes off the river to the road between the motel and the Ultramar gas station.

Florida Snowman Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 As Piston Lake stated there is no food on site at Hotel Senabi. They also only have 6 rooms as they sold the building in front in 2016 thereby lowering room count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Central Hotel used to have a dining room however I don't know whether they still operate it or not. I believe that I had read that there were new owners a year or two ago and that they wanted to have the dining room open. You would be best to contact them for a firm answer.
