Gowganda to Matachewan by ATV




My neighbour across the street Mike was determined to make it to Matachewan by way of the snowmobile trail. On Sunday we started the trek 3 machines with Mike, his wife Sharon and myself. It turned out that the worst part of the trip was the crossing Miller Ck. north of Everett Lake. Lots of boulders and muck after fixing up a couple of spots with more boulders we made it through. This trip probably wouldn't be possible if the creek was very high.
The first part of the trip had several boulders and logs across the trail, but finally we made it into the old cuts north of Obushkon Lake, from there on the trail just got better. Stopped in at Matachewan for a drink and then took the long way home along the road with a stop in at Indian Chutes Generating Station. All together it was about 135 Km. All in all a good trip. Crossed the Montreal River between Tommy Lake and Crotch Lake and took a pic of the low water levels.
