Dans son tout dernier billet pour le blogue Roadstories.ca, l'auteure et journaliste de Pontiac Katharine Fletcher propose aux voyageurs un parcours le long de la rivière des Outaouais. Intitulé "Kichi Sibi – The Ottawa River", son article invite les gens à s'arrêter à Quyon : "Farther upstream, Quyon provides a glimpse into the past. Immediately west of the village stood Joseph Mondion’s trading post, built in 1786, which became a Hudson’s Bay Trading Post. Quyon recalls the days of the fur trade – along with the “magnificent failure” of the late 1800s Grand Canal scheme at the once-mighty Chats Falls. If completed, this canal would have formed the northern navigable route from the Great Lakes to Montreal. The Friends of Chats Falls offers guided tours of the historically rich Quyon area, including snowshoe excursions come winter."
