ottawa -> grands remous

Grand remous -> Le domaine

The bus stops at Lac Saint Marie from which we should be able to get to or from Pembroke

One in La Veyrendrie at the Canoe Camping we should be able to find a ride to Lac Ponponne (see links)

To go from Pembroke to Brent to start the Petawawa, we can hitch hike. I haven’t found a bus yet. Or we could try to contact an outfitter to could take us there. I have a contact that I used on the Dumoine (see Noel).

Idem form Lake McManus

 

The end of the Noire is at the Waltham Electricy Dam, close to Pembroke. Easy to organize a ride.

The end of the Coulonge is farther away but not that much.
