Les Etchemins

Come explore the charming Etchemins region where villages are scattered atop the summits of the Appalachians. With its many lakes, rivers and mountains, this region has a wide variety of activities to offer. For outdoor enthusiasts: biking, golfing, hiking, four wheeling and water slides are just a few of the activities that can be enjoyed in the summertime. The magnificent Etchemin Lake, 5 km (3 mi) long, is one of the sites where nautical activities can be practised. In the wintertime, thrills take the spotlight with snowmobiling, sledding on inner tubes and downhill skiing. For those interested in heritage and culture, several historic sites like the Village des Défricheurs will take you back to the 19th century for beautiful discoveries.
