Help crossing Canada

BTW on my last trip out East, I stopped at two national parks along the route in Quebec, and yes strictly speaking they are not run by Parks Canada, I often forget that things are done differently in Quebec. There is Parc National du Mont Oxford near Montreal. I would recommend that one. There is another one near the New Brunswick boarder, Parc National du lac Temiscouata. It is a nice park and very new, but I would not recommend it as a stop over on a cross country trip. It is less than 1km from the Trans Canada Hwy as the bird flies, but because there is a lake between it and the Trans Canada, it means an over 30km drive around the lake on back roads. On the north loop, the Park is not well marked and much of the route is gravel roads.
