...leaving via King Edward to Hull, QC:

- cross bridge and head 22km North on highway 5 toward Maniwaki.
- Continue until the highway ends, right at stop sign and immediate left
at the lights, direction 105 North (toward Maniwaki).
- Drive 69km, direction 105-N.
- Shortly after you pass a bridge on your right (do not cross it!),
turn left on Chemin du lac Cayamant, you will also see the first sign for FORET DE L'AIGLE.
- Drive 17km to the village of Cayamant and find the last store (with 'SAQ' sign)
on the left side to get any last-minute supplies.
- Drive 300m past this store and turn left on Chemin du Petit Cayamant,
toward Foret de l'Aigle "SUD/SOUTH" entrance:
- Drive about 1km on a bumpy, rough paved road and turn right at fork on Chemin de l`Aigle.
- At the next fork in the road, stay left on Chemin de l`Aigle, still heading toward Foret de l'Aigle.
- At about 4.5km, there is a split in the road, turn left.
(you know its the right way when you turn and the road goes left & uphill and also the road gets a bit worse. Do not continue into the Foret de l'Aigle at this point. I think this fork is near the "4km" marker)
...now drive slowly and carefully for about 13-14km to the site:
-You will cross puddles, rocks & branches, continue on the dirt road.
-At about 10.5km, there should be a large pond on the left with some wood (apparently a beaver dam)
on your left and more puddles to cross.
-Turn right 300m after these puddles on a sand road.
-Keep to the right at the fork in the road and follow the sand road for about 2.6km.

Hints:
Once in Cayamant and on all the dirt roads, watch out for 4-wheelers, off-road bikes and trucks.
Look for orange ribbons on trees to help you go the right way.
Easier to drive during the day than at night.
Take your time & use all of the road when necessary - if my lowered Acura can make it, so can you.
Don`t try to drive a car down to the beach. Unless you have a 4x4, you will get stuck in the sand.
Total distance from Ottawa is app. 130km.
