This hiking trail is known as The Michael Levesque Trail in
honour of the man who made it. It will take you right into the
forest. The trail consist of a long and a short loop. You can walk
from our boatdocks to where the trail begins in about 10
minutes.
Once on the trail, a leisurely pace will take you through the
long loop in about one hour and fifteen minutes. A shorter loop
takes about forty minutes.
You will walk through a mixed forest
consisting mainly of spruce, poplar, birch, balsam and cedar. The
trail follows at first the bank of the Nebskwashi River and then
curves round and along the Kebsquasheshing River. The former is
also called the Back-River and the latter the Front-River.
Here is more info about the trail and how to get
there.
It will take you 15 minutes to walk to where the trail starts.
You can of course drive there as well. Here is how you get to the trail's beginning.
- Follow Birch Street (Chapleau's main street) to the east until
it makes a bend and becomes Riverside Drive.
- Walk past the school on your left and continue till you are
about 100 yards from the gate of the town's sewage treatment
plant.
- Go on the grassy area to your right, adjacent to the river. The
trail begins at the grassy area, under the big spruce tree. There
