White Road Snowmobile Trail Shelter Locations

2026 data provides punctual locations of shelters along the White Road snowmobile trail. This trail is the only winter land link between Kegaska and Blanc-Sablon on Quebec's Lower North Shore. The dataset is extracted from a broader establishment registry to isolate shelter-specific information.

Use Cases

• Map shelter locations along the White Road trail for winter travel planning and emergency response
• Analyze the spatial distribution of refuges to assess coverage gaps for the snowmobile route
• Integrate shelter point data with trail network layers for infrastructure management

Strengths

• Data is current, with a last update in March 2026
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including SHP, GEOJSON, and GPKG for flexibility
• Specifically extracted from a larger registry to provide focused shelter metadata

Limitations

• No sample data or column schema is provided, limiting understanding of available attributes
• Unknown record count and file size prevent assessment of dataset scale
• Relies on automated translation for original metadata, which may introduce inaccuracies
