Muskoka2 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Friends ran Temisk. to R.-N. last W.E.-said good 2 go-going back this W.E.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Thought we would have some more reply’s here. anyway we got back yesterday. Overall summary was conditions and accommodations were great. some more details for those interested. We rode temiskaming qc to ville Marie to Val dor then to r-n then back down to ville Marie. Trails were great. Some early season rocks/alders/sticks (actually a number of them) but no issues. More snow north of ville Marie so I would recommend staying in R-n or heading north if you stay anywhere south of there. we stayed at La bannik, and forestel (and north bay on the drive up). Accommodations were great as was the food and standard awesome QC hospitality. La Bannik is one of the best lodges to stay with great hosts, top notch food, nice accommodations, and lots to do. was real cold but to be expected. We didn’t see many sleds out on the trails (I guess too cold) but there were 20-30 at forestel we saw. would not hesitate to head up if you were thinking of it. zrtkat, PLAYHARD, MrGutz and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite place to stay Thanks Zrtkat They were doing room service for supper and breakfast at forestel. Food was good but room service did take a while. To be expected I guess! did not ask about lunch though. Edited January 19, 2022 by willb PLAYHARD and zrtkat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willb Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) On a related note. Anyone know what the big plastic looking pipe is coming into temiscaming? It looks like it runs from the mill? And not the pipe that you ride in to cross the river!

Was definitely in the dining room a few years ago, and we definitely (successfully) begged for extras to take with. There are photos somewhere of sloppy-hours later in the tour with JD & mini cheesy sammies. Keep the faith!

blackjack1 Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 to ditch banger, or willb did you use the 102q from north bay to temiscaming? PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 No I didn’t use the A102Q. We drove through (to La bannik, then we sledded down to temiscaming and then back to La bannik, then northward). we did meet some folks who parked in new liskard and rode the lake over to QC (unmarked/unopened trail at the time). It looks like one section of A102Q is still not open at the end but ya can try the guys on Ontarioconditions to see if they know more!

I always drive to the PQ side to start I rode on thar trail years ago and I still remember them hills. Came off the first one and never touch snow until the bottom. Riding second in line behind my oldest son who didn't tell me about the size of them things. Promptly went right to the back of the line. Wasn't for me. zrtkat, PLAYHARD and zeusand 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
