That is a Government SEPAQ place. Not sure if it's open in winter. Its right on the 117 next to the Gas Station there. i believe this is where you are talking about. http://www.sepaq.com/rf/lvy/information.dot there is also Le Classic, the restaurant/motel and gas a little bit before that but could be an option to launch from. 2 117 Rte, Montcerf-Lytton, QC J0W 1N0 (819) 438-5557 Edited February 6, 2017 by iceman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viper2 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Domaine is the place where the fox shows up looking for handouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 You must be thinking of Windigo, reports say fox has been MIA for some time now. La Domaine a must gas stop, fuel up there cuz the Indian reserve is 200 k away, La Verendrye is on the way but you must take a 15 k detour down to his place for 2$+\ litre gas, great necessity should you need it but f your early enough to buzz through you'll need to make a judgement call pending on trail status a sled fuel consumptions. Definitely possible to make the 200 k run if you're prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 La Domaine is your fuel up necessitaty then its 200k to the Indian reserve, smooth trails and good weather will be very helpful but should you encounter snow accumulations on the way up better to detour for fuel at La Verendrye. Few years back I went to Trout Lake bypassing La Verendye thinking we're good on gas cuz we're carring some, fueled up at La Domaine, we were 4, 2 Apexes and 2 1200 Renegades 3 with extra fuel. I was on a Yamaha Apex 144" with 2x 5 litres on board. 63/386 inter snow sccumslstions were getting pretty extreme, I used my 2x 5 litres of fuel then later shared one of the Doos extra fuel with the other Apex. We managed to get to Trout Lake on fumes. The Doos were fine lots of gas left but the Apexes were burning up all the fuel. Be very carefull and notable with the other sleds in the group.

Did not take you all the way to the lodge, trail runs along the access road to the lodge. Carman and doonali 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed there twice last week and have video of throwing breakfast sausages to him right off the front porch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
