Route du Nord
The North Road winding its way through Quebec's wilderness.
The Route du Nord (French for North Road) is an isolated wilderness road in central Quebec, Canada, connecting Chibougamau with the James Bay Road (French: Route de la Baie James) at km 275. It is 407 kilometres (253 mi) long, all of it unpaved. Extensive logging takes place along the southern half of this road.
