Route pittoresque entre Carignan vers Hervey-Jonction

This colonization road stretches 134 km (journey time: 1h48) in a forest valley following the route of the Transcontinental railway, which arrived at Hervey-Jonction in 1907. In leaving from Carignan (Lac-à-Beauce sector, south of La Tuque), the traveler takes the rue de l'Eglise (towards the east) passes close to the Lac-à-Beauce hydro-aerodrome; continue on the railway track, cross the forest hamlet of Festubert along the Lac aux Brochets, pass on the west side of the Montagne de la Croix (304 m above sea level), crosses the forest hamlet of Lac-Chat, and rejoins the Chemin de la Rivière-du-Milieu (which goes north). In this sector, the highest railway bridge in Quebec spans the rivière-du-Milieu; it has the particularity of being a half-bridge since the railway arrives at the top of the mountain heading north. From this bridge, the road continues along the Rivière-du-Milieu, which is very meandering in this area, and will flow near Cap-à-l'Aigle into the lac Mékinac. The traveler continues along the rivière aux Eaux Mortes) in order to join the chemin Tawachiche (in the ZEC Tawachiche). Then, it passes through the Gouin zone between lac Masketsi and lac Roberge; then follows the course of the West Tawachiche river, up to the Audy sector which is the Zec Tawachiche reception post. From there, the road continues, passing the place called Veillette where the company Veillette & Frères had operated a sawmill, passes near the lac en Coeur, to the village of Hervey-Jonction. This little-known valley is picturesque.
