VTrider Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Does anyone know if the Hotel Governeur in Shawningan still has secure sled and trailer parking? Been a few years since last being there. Also, do they still have trail access over the bridge from downtown onto the river? Thanks in advance...

Mac Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 There was another place I believe past Richards on the right hand side of the same road. I cant remember the name. They have restaurant and a bar. You could see the river from the bar window. Does anyone remember this place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Montagnard Edgars Place. Still there too. Cool lodge. Iceman - Thats it. Yes nice lodge. They were booked once and rented us a cabin in the woods about a mile away. We loaded all our bags and six guys into one of those tracked vehicles with skis on the front. After dinner they drove us to the cabin and then picked us up at 9 AM the next morning. Cool place. Hilarious riding in that vehical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
