8 of us are planing a trip the first week of February Saturday to Saturday. Leaving from ether  Auberge La Glaciere or Pourvoirie Du Lac Blanc up to Lac St Jean maybe over Parent then back down to truck. Want to do 200 miles a day{give or take}  Any suggestions on route an places to stay would help me a lot! Thank you

Through this together rather quickly but its a nice evenly paced route.  Every sleeping location is marked so you can easily change the route.  Roughly its about 1100 miles but some great stops and good sites.

Try this link:    https://fcmq.fcmqapi.ca/fr/carte-cond.html#map

when the trail map shows up, there will be 2 small square boxes in the top right (a snow flake, a location marker and a square) click on the location marker and a sublist will show up. Then click on safe hotel and then on accomodations. Places to stay (THAT PAY TO BE ON THE MAP) will show up. Click on ones you are interested in to get more info. Hope this helps.  

If going up to Lac St Jean would be good if you could include Trail 373 that runs north of the lake. Beautiful ride across there and can see the new bridge that opened last year. Otis Nature is a good place to stay on the east end near trail 373 if it worked into your loop.Last winter we stayed in the newer chalet, had 5 beds in the bottom floor then there is a seperate apartment on second floor, not sure how many beds.

Here is my day to day trip stops with each place listed in image and text.  It matches the same route I posted before.  If you want more miles, you can play around with the interactive map and add some extra stops.  The interactive map is very helpful as you can move routes around or do extra loops.  Example would be on day 5 or 6 you could easily make them longer.

Day 1 - Sunday - 183.1 miles
- Leave Le Cabanon
- Arrive Hotel Roquemont

Day 2 - Monday - 173.7 miles
- Leave Hotel Roquemont
- Arrive Maison Carofanne

Day 3 - Tuesday - 222.1 miles
- Leave Maison Carofanne
- Arrive Hote Cateau Roberval

Day 4 - Wednesday - 233.1 miles
- Leave Hote Cateau Roberval
- Arrive Magasin general de Parent

Day 5 - Thursday - 142.1 miles 
- Leave Magasin general de Parent
- Arrive Pourvoirie Mekoos

Day 6 - Friday - 149.1 miles
- Leave Pourvoirie Mekoos
- Arrive Le Cabanon

Motel Au SenAbi in Senneterre. Been a few years since we stayed there but it was decent. No food on site but close by. Trail comes off the river to the road between the motel and the Ultramar gas station.

As Piston Lake stated there is no food on site at Hotel Senabi. They also only have 6 rooms as they sold the building in front in 2016 thereby lowering room count. 

  Thanks everyone for all the great info ! I plotted out a trip ,but cant figure out how to transfer it here ! Is there  some place to eat in Parent ? 

                    Bruce

Another ? I have a paper map  eeyou Istchee Baie-James, which regionis this in?

   Bruce

It includes Matagami, Lebel sur Quevillon, Chapais and Chibougamau and goes right up to the east side of James Bay.

Thanks PISTON LAKE CRUISER. I want to order a new map but i do not see it in regions  list !

    Bruce

Here’s the contact for those maps Bruce.

The Central Hotel used to have a dining room however I don't know whether they still operate it or not. I believe that I had read that there were new owners a year or two ago and that they wanted to have the dining room open. You would be best to contact them for a firm answer.

I have used the gas station for lunch before it's not bad.

 Hi all! looking for more info.  Best place to stay in Chibougamau? looking at paper map Hotel Motel Nordic is closest to trail, does not say anything about food!  Anybody  have any info for Nordic? Is Chibougamaau A Dry town? Asking for a friend  lol!
