catchem Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Nice to know. Headed up there this week. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchem Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I was wondering if the Lac Taureau is open/staked for crossing. With the trail closed for logging the lake would be nice alternative rather than going through St. Michel. That trail gets a little rough from all the tour groups using it.

towing Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Will keep you inform if I get others details... I was wondering if the Lac Taureau is open/staked for crossing. With the trail closed for logging the lake would be nice alternative rather than going through St. Michel. That trail gets a little rough from all the tour groups using it. The reservoir was not staked in the last years but you can easily take it from St-Michel Village behind the Central there's a trail that goes up to the shore of the reservoir and from there it's pretty easy to get up to the Auberge du Lac Taureau by following the tracks.. lots of them. Going farther on the lake is more adventurous and I would not recommend unless you are with someone who know the area. This said, the trail closure is completely west from the lake toward Rouge-Mattawin relay and does not interfere with the trail that goes around the lake/reservoir Taureau. Passing on the lake is not an alternative in any way to the closure. Edited February 19, 2016 by towing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchem Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Thank you for the info, I forgot that the lake isn't usually staked. Safe trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionjack Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just read that this closure has been lifted as the work will be delayed until the end of March to have the least effect on snowmobiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionjack Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I rode this yesterday from LaBelle. There is an 15km stretch from 40kms out of SMDS that hasn't been groomed in weeks and is 2-3' moguls with 4' holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teet F8SP Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 We skirted this area Monday and a couple told us with sign language (they spoke french) about the big rollers on that trail at the intersection of 63 and 33 north. He was touching the ground and motioning his hand all the way over his head and back down again insinuating some big ass rollers. We elected to not make the trip to Matawin this week because of these trails in poor condition leading to the area. We also heard the groomer was down in St Donat this week and was stuck on the trail so we stayed north on the freshly groomed trails. Ill post some details today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towing Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I rode this yesterday from LaBelle. There is an 15km stretch from 40kms out of SMDS that hasn't been groomed in weeks and is 2-3' moguls with 4' holes. Yes I read about this on french forum and some people recently flag me about this, this is really this segment on the #33 between St-Michel toward Rouge-Mattawin relay(cafeteria) where Hydro do woodcut. I still don't know why they had not groomed but I know that they are working to move this segment more west where it was a couple years ago but they encounter huge snow amount, mechanical an others problems that delayed their progress. don't know more for the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
