If you reach the Canadian border, you’ve gone too far. The Moose River Lodge and Motel is located sixteen miles south of Quebec on Route 201, past the Jackman Trading Post (Gifts, Jokes, Food, Maps) and across the street from B & R’s Moose Mart (LAST GAS IN THE USA). The motto of the Moose River Valley is “if you don’t stop, smile on your way through.”
