Heading off on the dumoine this week and your map saved me a lot of time!
i do not understand the route for the dumoine river; when i look at maps, i do not see a river flowing off of Lac Benoit; if you could please explain me it a little more detailed, i would be very greatful
For a free map of the Dumoine (in French however) and many other rivers, go to www.cartespleinair.org
