In winter, allow extra time to complete the trails. Other trails are currently being developed. Follow our social media accounts to find out more!

Water sports

Discover our lakes in a kayak, paddleboard or canoe. Travel up the river to Lac en Cœur, which stretches 4 km in length, and enjoy its wild beaches, islands, and unspoiled landscapes. Equipment is available on site for 50$/adult. Please note that the availability of watercraft may vary depending on demand.

Swimming

The Saint-Sixte river, a shallow and crystal-clear river with a sandy bottom runs through our site for more than 400 meters. A designated area is set up for swimming, so make the most of it! Swimming is also possible at lac en Coeur, after a 20 to 30 minute walk. There's no developed beach there, but you'll find some wild spots that are perfect for cooling off.

* Please note that swimming is unsupervised.

Climbing

Come and challenge the cliffs and rocks of the region. Operated by Escalade Petite-Nation, a climbing wall is located less than 400 meters from our site. It offers a difference in altitude of up to 140 meters with more than 100 routes. Both beginners and experts will find what they are looking for! As the path to get there passes through our land, we ask for a daily access fee, payable on site at our parking lot, with a QR code. Note that access is included for our accommodation customers. Our partner Escalade Petite-Nation offers courses for beginners or intermediates. Write to us for more info!

* Please note that the climbing wall is within walking distance of the parking lot outside our site.
