Hey Tyler. we are headed up to Montreal for the weekend and was going to stop at Refuge Faunique Marguerite D'youville. can you give me a basic rundown of what to expect. looks as though there are no roads to drive around the park. i assume its walking. Best route to take for the owls? parking and payment? thanks man!
