Looked groomed somewhat when we passed there monday. Not sure as we continued west. Lots of tracks headed down it for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there is a 9km section that is not passable by the groomer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper2 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I would call Dominic in Clova. Went through there Tuesday morning and the groomer had just come up the Lepine Road but we were on 83 so not sure how far down they went Carman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisWright Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 If anyone has a definitive answer on this, please post. Also if there is gas available at Pensive (I believe that's the name of the place) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Je me souviens Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 The road is plowed and sanded from the Rabaska to the new bridge entering the ZEC Petawaga. So that is a hard no from the bottom up. I beleive that they are logging the Chemin L'Epine north of the Pensive this year so that is a deal breaker right in the middle. Dom might groom from Clova down to the Evasion later this year, but that is a far cry from being able to make it from the top down to the Rabaska. Short answer is the same as I posted this summer, might be a few years before we get that run back in action. devinhoov and MrGutz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s groomed to SHE said Pensive. I think she meant Evasion After that they are hauling wood. For sure on bottom end like Je me souviens said. Its allI got.

He is the new owner and he owns the Pensive as well. He probably knows what's going on with the logging on Lépine Road. I haven't heard of anything regarding "le sentier des Draveurs". It was such an incredible trail to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Gaf Gaffney Posted February 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Is it rideable from Club Gatineau to Rabaska usually their are a few side trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Would be real nice if the trail was groomed to the Pensive but then it would be a crap shoot to the bridge which I hear is not groomed and from my last atv ride through there it’s loaded with branches so there’s that for those of you who like to get adventurous.Then over the bridge like Je me Souviens posted its plowed and sanded to Rabaska do that’s a big no no noway going that way. Better to buzz down the 83 to the 13 and head south. The 13 south of Fer a Cheval meets up with a local trail on the left, take it, its far better than the 13 into Ste Anne du Lac. doonali and Carman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
