- Exit at end of highway, turn right, continue about 100 metres.
- Turn left at the stop lights onto highway 5/105 N (there are several routes you can take from here, however perhaps the following is nice because it goes along the river for a little ways, e.g., you could pass through the village of Wakefield, then continue through and pick up the 5/105 North again heading for the village of Alcove).

- Turn left at “The Outpost” depaneur/general store, continuing on Chemin des Erables.
- Continue a few minutes to a 4-way stop (the “4-Corners in Rupert”).
- Turn right on Chemin Parent, after a few minutes to fork in the road.
- Stay straight/right onto Chemin Usher (remember stay straight onto Ch. Usher, Ch. Parent veers off to the left).
- Stay straight/left on Ch. Usher for a couple minutes (do not take the Ch. Du Manoir right fork).
