Pretty great setup there. Surely has evolved from the first time i was ever there.

I remember going there first year it was built. You could play basketball inside as it was just a wide open room. Looks awesome now.

Heated garage available this winter

if i am reading it right then the garage is  for snowmobiles with no studs and must have wheels.

first time ever seeing that.

We stayed there twice last year and were told a contractor from Montreal bought Kanawata. Mario and Celine are running the place. All the work that’s been done looks amazing  !

Hopefully get a chance to return this year.

Snazzy!

Lol

 

So no one.  He has nice floors.  I get it.  But why advertise it if the majority if your customers can't use it.

We stopped in LATE last season, Mario and Celine still there, still "divorced" but running the place.  Very civil actually.  She was the most friendly I've ever seen her.  She is always better when there are less people there.  Mario has always been awesome to us.  I am rooting for Camp de Casey to get their stuff dialed as the location ON the trail is a bit better, and if you don;t mind roughing it a bit..........

I feel like 345 has been re-routed a few times over the last few years? On the map, this season, it looks to be ever further from Kanawata?

My question, however, I remember pre-covid coming from Lac-St Jean to Kanawata. I thought when we first got onto 345 heading South there was a airstrip that the trail went down. It was wide and straight. When we took 345 North this past Winter I don't remember riding that air strip? Was that re-routed too?

I understand the airstrip at Casey but on the map it looks like two locations for Katawata. Did they expand to another outpost away from the lake. Little confused.  Lol

Same place as always, unchanged.  They have 2 ways to get there, (3 if you count the road).  Mystery every year what they use.  The long way is open park roads, fast, smooth, easy to maintain but you have to backtrack to get to them.  The short way is way less miles, routes you directly through their lot.  But......... much more narrow, harder to groom, much more prone to wind, ice and snow damage, usually not really worth it.

Trail was up the east side of the reservoir at Kanawata last winter.  Great run.  It does bypass the airstrip at Casey staying west of it, but you can ride in there to stay at camp de base.

345 heading to the 83 goes within sight, (almost) of the Casey Airport, no worries there. 😏

There is actually an error on the interactive map about the Kanawata location, I am at sending a correction request for it

On this interactive map snapshot the left indication is good but the right one about 10 miles in the wood to the east that appear when you search for gaz, lodging etc... is out of no where. I am trying to take care of that...

[GSX800]

Is it just me or does the app no longer auto-rotate when going from portrait to landscape orientation?  The web based api still rotates. 

[Yankee Troller]

Good stuff guys, Thanks.

We noticed it stopped rotating again also. Alain has a good contact and got it fixed last year. Hint Hint

[ChrisWright]

Why do I feel like I used to turn left off 345 heading north to get there???

Depends on the yr. 345 was routed up the east side of Lake Manouane for a couple yrs

A ticket have been open on this rotating problem, it should be fix in the next days...

The Kanawata location got closer to the real location but not yet on it, I'm back with the concerned people to fix that correctly.
