scorpionbowl Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 The new trail maps are coming in, and it's always interesting to see the trail changes for the new year. Two jump out so far, what else do you see? 1. TQ93 through Normandin and 373 over Lac a Jim have been swapped. 2. The Gaspe map has a Sentiers du circuit Chic-Chocs/Forillon thats doesn't make sense.

Yamaha Jim Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hello, What is a good source to get the latest trail maps for Quebec? I was not able to attend the snow shows to pick up the latest sets of maps. I am most interested in the Gaspe region. Thanks! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpionbowl Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I order them all from the FCMQ website. It takes a while to fill out the forms, but it's a good job while watching football... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting changes in Lenaudiere in the St-Donat - St-Michelle des Saints area. Shows 33 both "in" and "out" of Tremblant Parc. Shows the Caribou Parc gate still open this year.

Yamaha Jim Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I have not been over in the St. Agathe - Labelle region since 2002. Curious if the railway trail was ever reopened? I used to stay at Allan Robertaille's hotel in St. Agathe and loved the rail trail. It was a great trail to get to long distance destinations. We used to like to stoop at all the former train stations and admire the pictures of the former railway operations. Thanks! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim There is still a section closed north of St. Agathe, and they just finished a re route south of the area (43) which is much, much longer to get around and re join RR bed to Mont Laurier, This area has suffered since this trail was closed and Allan sold the hotel, the local club membership is down, very low. .

towing Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Interesting changes in Lenaudiere in the St-Donat - St-Michelle des Saints area. Shows 33 both "in" and "out" of Tremblant Parc. Shows the Caribou Parc gate still open this year. Yes Timbo, I have been told that the Tremblant Park should still be open like last last season from gates Caribou near st-Donat,St-Michel and St-Côme near Coin Lavigne, but the bypass trail just east from the park shown dashed on the 2013 map should not be opened if the park is opened. I will comeback in a couple week with more details... Alain Edited October 17, 2012 by towing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Range Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Speaking of Faillon outfitter.....according to the map this place is no longer on TQ 83 path but off of it. Beside fueling up at Balbuzard Sauvage there is no other places between Clova and Senneterre.Also there is quite a detour now between Senneterre and lac faillon. 83 runs toward Matchi-manitou lake.

Pipeman Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 That sucks! Balbuzard is not always willing to give gas at least not a fill up and expect $2.00 a liter there. If I recall last year Peter had a detour marked on the 83 to get to him (Fallion) directly then back onto the 83 after another few miles?? Oh well seems every few years a different outfitter gets their turn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I am confident it will be much like last year, with Lac Fallon. Going west 83 goes to the right a few miles before Lac Fallon. You continue straight to Fallon then from there you can still return to the 83 by the detour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Range Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Lac faillon is located on the local trail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipeman Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 ok good looks like last year then. Thanks Mid Range and Iceman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Change is always good, this leaves us the option of riding into Louvicourt or Senneterre pending on the amount fuel your sled burns, carrying extra gas may be necessary to make the stetch omitting the stop at Balbuzard. Change is always good, this new stretch of trail maybe tripple digit trail. we'll have to wait for a report. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
