The Backroad Mapbook of Southwestern Quebec is the most
comprehensive outdoor recreation resource available for the area. Locally known
as the Outaouais, this is a diverse region that is a favourite destination
choice amongst outdoor enthusiasts. The Outaouais is bordered by
Abitibi-Temiscamingue, the Laurentians, and Canada's capital city, Ottawa. With
a multitude of colourful mountains, rolling hills, deep forests, tame and wild
rivers, and over 20 000 lakes, the opportunities for outdoor adventures are
endless. Whether you want to hike or ski the many trails in the renowned
Gatineau park, take a week off to explore the lakes and rivers of the La
Verendrye Wildlife Reserve on a canoe-camping trip, try your hand at fishing
some of Temiscamingue's hot spots, or take a leisurely bike-ride through the
old-fashioned and inviting towns that populate the Gatineau Valley, the
Outaouais offers it all.
The reference section includes information on
lake and stream fishing, paddling routes, multi-use trails (hiking/biking/ATV),
wilderness camping (parks and conservation areas), and winter recreation. The
maps highlight the logging/bush road networks, trail systems and recreation
opportunities for Southwestern Quebec. Presented in both French and English,
the Backroad Mapbook of Southwestern Quebec provides the most detail and
accuracy on the road and trail networks of the Outaouais.
