Route 389 is an awe-inspiring road through remote areas of Canada

Get ready for an epic adventure on Quebec Provincial Highway 389! This wild ride connects Quebec with Newfoundland and Labrador, taking you through some seriously remote and rugged terrain.

Clocking in at 567km (352.3 miles), this road stretches from Fermont in northeastern Quebec to Baie-Comeau, nestled on the Quebec-Labrador border along the St. Lawrence River.

Picture this: you're cruising through eastern Quebec, switching between stretches of winding, narrow asphalt and varying quality gravel. It's a drive that demands your full attention, especially when unpredictable snowstorms and blizzards roll in. Trust me, you'll want winter tires (it's actually the law!) and a winter emergency kit.

Out here, you're on your own! Expect stretches of zero visibility on the gravel sections, and gas stations are few and far between. Keep your ride in tip-top shape, pack a spare tire and tools, and fuel up whenever you can. Oh, and forget about cell service for most of the route (a satellite phone might work). Watch out for those logging trucks heading north—they move fast! Pull over safely to let them pass.

Keep an eye on your fuel gauge and bring plenty of food and water. This isn't a drive to take lightly, but if you're up for the challenge, the untouched scenery and sense of adventure are totally worth it!
