revct1 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Devil's Mointain (Mount Diablo) near Mont Laurier is one of the snowmobiling sights to ride to I am told. I hate to admit it but I have not yet been there myself. It is on my bucket list. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Je me souviens Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) I know they need snow up there.Any reports on the trails close to the park? Any recommendations for places to eat with the family?We are sledding 2 days & skiing 2 days. Any must see or must do while we are there? Montagne Noire or Black Mountain is another place you would probably like to see, bring some granola or seeds to feed the birds, they will eat right out of your hand. It is marked on the map of lanaudiere where it is, really close to the village of Saint-Donat.

I'm sure a local guide could show us some cool local trails & scenery. You really won't need a guide just contact the FCMQ and request some maps. Your main problem will be trail access, Mt. Tremblant village is not snowmobile friendly and you will probably have to trailer your sleds out of there. Lots of tree huggers and I don't mean the good kind like hunters in treestands.

Rupp: You will more than likely have to trailer north to LaBelle where you can pick up trail 325 to Mt Laurier. This is on the abandonded rail road bed and is a straight shot into Mt Laurier. From there it's an easy ride to Devil's Mt. If you trailer south of Mt Tremblant to St Agath you can ride trail 43 to 33 and head for Saint Donat and Black Mt. Years back the trail connected La Belle and St Agath and we used to do loops from St Zenon over to the rail road trail at L Annunciation , head south to St Agath and head back east to St Zenon. It was a great days ride with a real mixture of scenery. Tremblat is Beautiful. Hope you have a great time. Regards Combat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionjack Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 2 years ago we backpacked to the Comfort inn at St Jovite next to the tube slides. We got a 3 BR condo there reasonable and taxied in to the ski village. It's a shame the the 325 doesn't at least go to St Jovite. It was a good ride and we did an evening ski session on a whim then rode over to L'Ésterel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momojohnny Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I was in Millinocket Maine for a week and drove over to MT from there (Day Inn). Rode up to Val-dore from Days Inn. That was when the rte 117 was blockcaded in Lac Rapide by the Native uprising 3-4 yrs ago. Came around a corner to be detained with some folks with hunting rifles. Interesting, to say the least...

We plan on leaving on wed.We may have to leave teusday before the storm. Do you have a beater to drive locally? Nope. Been saying for years that I need one but always procrastinate. I will not ride my Apex around here no matter what. Can't ride here with studs due to no base. A ton of people ride Wharton State Forest, but I refuse. Snow total depends on the tracks of the storms. I heard minimum was 1 foot. My buddy's son just got back from Mt. Tremblant skiing. Said there's good snow at the resort but sucks outside the area. Of course he's not a snowmobiler but that still didn't sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
