Which way around lac from Roberval? Tell me your route and I can tell you the gas stops. But you will see many. Each way.

We will be going the southern route 83 to 93 ??? and around lake and back to Roberval not too sure of all the routes would like to know best route to take around the lake.

Iceman thanks for all your knowledge of the area you really helped us out to plan our trip and it is appreciated

Thanks

Lots of options mainly up top to make it as long or short a day as your group wants. 
 

i like the 93 through Lac A Jim at the very top of Lac if not this time then  maybe on your next trip through this area you can be able to spend more time on the trails above the lake, including the 373 which is just incredile from Girardville or from the other end near Onitchaway.

Was last year and sure still is the center trail on map A, the orange trail,  Is just amazing. Also a great club house on 373 to stop at. The whole area is great.

We were there last week great area up by lac-a Jim , sweet trails just don't go directly through Alma!!! Go around as ice shows.

Thanks Iceman for all the maps will print these out and have them with me .

Now if we can change the weather for next week in Temiscaming that would be great calling for a couple days of warmer weather and some rain hopefully not enough to change our starting point .

Back in the late 80’s many locals would tell us there was 10 women to every man in Alma. A useless fact now I guess

Ha ! I was told the same thing about Chicoutimi years ago by the owner of La Unison in Laterriere. I do not believe that place even exists anymore.  Gui was his name and he had some really weird paintings in the place…

Curious, this zec Valin thing, was it an issue or requirement last year?

We ended up riding through this area and knew nothing about it nor did anything about it or did we run into any issues. 
Stayed at km31 too. 
TYIA.
