The St. Lawrence North
Shore refers to the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in
Quebec (Canada), east of Quebec City. On
this website, I am referring to the part of the St. Lawrence North Shore
that runs from Baie Comeau
eastward. The road used to end at Havre St. Pierre, but in
recent years has been extended eastward to Natasquan (1010 km east of Quebec
City, 570 km east from Baie Comeau). By that
point you are actually on the Gulf of St, Lawrence.
For the time being, Natashquan is as
far as you can drive on the north shore. A look at a map of the
north shore east of Natashquan tells you that this will likely be the
end of the road for some time to come. There are many very large
rivers to cross if the road were to be extended further east. But eventually it will run all the way east to the Strait of Belle
Isle.
For information and travelogues about the
far east North Shore, the part that is north of Newfoundland and extends
into Labrador, see the Trans-Labrador
Hwy website.
