James Bay Road - This looks like a challenge I may take...
The James Bay (Baie James) region of northern Quebec is located in northeastern Canada along the eastern side of James Bay. It is a vast wilderness area of taiga/boreal forest, reached by a single road - the very remote James Bay Road (Route de la Baie-James) - 620 km of forest and taiga and not a single town along the way! If you're interested in a long road trip into a very remote part of northeastern Canada, then this is the road - and website - for you! This website is the most comprehensive and detailed source of information about this area and its roads anywhere on the Internet.
