An avalanche in our terrain is a rare occurrence – thankfully – but recently, an avalanche fell near Lac des Roches and can be seen on
private land above Highway 24, just east of the rest stop. In a steep ravine at the Cottage Lane access point, the top layer of snow broke free and fell down in big chunks towards the road. This is a timely reminder to everyone venturing out in the woods that avalanche warnings for hillier areas throughout the province could apply to Lac des Roches as well.
