It is basically a place for winter! I went on July. But a nice place for bikes
Leanne Hanna
Nice family-friendly place to cross-country ski. I like coming here because of the scenic trails along the Etchemin river and through the woods. I also enjoy the way that a lot of the trails are classic double track, so you can ski side by side.
Nicolas Navier
Great place to do some cross country skiing. Not expensive at all.
