We had stayed here a few years ago but what a pleasant surprise to fine a refurbished auberge at the outlet of Lac Pohenagamook. We will have to report on the food tomorrow. The new owners are putting their best efforts into this nice location

Well, we decided after 7 days on the trail, this was the best meal we have had. A true diamond in the rough. The new chef Mano, she speaks great English, so helpful, as the new local owners Real and Marianne do not. We week be back next year.

So if you need an excuse to come to Bas St Laurent one more time, as they are expecting another snow storm and the riding is awesome. Use this as the reason to check them out lol.

The next seasom begins for us Dec 1st somewhere? Till than think snow! RR

Stayed there a few years ago and had fantastic meals, glad to hear they kept that up. Did they reno the rooms, they needed a little attention back then?

The rooms have had fresh paint and some new furniture, carpets and beds. Not a complete overhaul, but tastefully done. RR

Do you have to get there following TQ35 down the lake or is there another way?

Yes VT, down to the end of the lake on the 35 stake line. There is no other trail here. RR

The place is terrific and has been for years. we stop there each chance we have and are in the area sledding. FYI you can get there easily without going over the lake by taking regional trail 544 at north end of lake around to a local trail then back on to 35 and when approaching the lake take the road to the left a few hundred yards to Auberge. you can also follow signs off 544 to Pohénégamook Santé Plein Air going down the lake shore road if snow covered. that is fastest non-lake access. DO NOT go for gas at the gas station across the street that you can see from the parking lot as that is in Maine and you will be made to turn around or go out of your way down the road to a US border control station and THEN have to re-check in with Canada border control as well. see https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/41/Gaz_bar_maine.jpg. There is an easy gas stop right off the lake (west side) if lake is frozen.

Interesting point to view however is to go across the road and take a left down the side street. There is an interesting international boundary marker and historical information board. going down that street keeps you in Canada and no one has ever bothered us in fact the Canadian border agent told us to go there when we foolishly went for gas at the Gulf station a few feet away (in Maine it turns out) and had to "visit" with him to check in to Canada again but they all laugh about it.
