Signfan Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Any word on whether this will re-open? Was the club able to clear the landslide and re-establish a trail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 The FCMQ map is still showing a section of the 597 closed. Hard to say how often it is updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I have inquiries out but have not received a definitive answer yet. apparently after the landslide last year the clubs affected (Murdochville and Gaspe) received some funding to clear the slide but did not have time to obtain the permission necessary to do the work. After further discussions and evaluation it seems from what I gather now they are talking about a new section of trail to replace this part as it’s too dangerous to use the one after the slide. I am waiting for more info. When i get it you will hear it. nyskidooerinnewhampshire, MrGutz and jak 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signfan Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Looks like the re-route is up on the map. MrGutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 There is certainly a different hook in the 597 now on the map. MrGutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Zoom in green green waypoint along the 597 on the FCMQ interactive map. This picture does not zoom close enough. See anything? http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2021_09/697063640_Screenshot_20210926-143714_SamsungInternet.thumb.jpg.53874a90a66a2c623af467c449133b7b.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Confirmed will be open this year 22 km or so longer than old route. MrsGTRider and MrGutz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
