Antoine-Labelle County blends small-town ease with outsized wilderness and four-season recreation. Residents gravitate to the services and festivals of Mont-Laurier and the riverfront charm of Rivière-Rouge, while families enjoy the heritage feel of Labelle. Trailheads, lakes, and sandy bays are minutes away in every direction, from the rugged peaks and lookout towers of Parc régional Montagne du Diable to the canoe routes and backcountry campsites of the Réserve faunique de Papineau-Labelle. Cyclists and snowmobilers prize the legendary Le P’tit Train du Nord, which rolls through local villages and turns into a groomed winter corridor.
Weekends fill quickly here: summiting Montagne du Diable, paddling quiet coves at dawn, or catching a concert at the city’s theater in Mont-Laurier. Families appreciate a solid school network under the Centre de services scolaire des Hautes-Laurentides and access to vocational and adult education, plus a regional hospital, aquatic center, and busy arenas. The county’s location also makes day trips easy, with the resort energy of Mont-Tremblant within reach.
Housing options range from waterfront retreats and hobby farms to in-town bungalows close to cafés, markets, and the linear park. Whether you’re drawn by quiet lakes, trail-rich forests, or a connected community hub, Antoine-Labelle offers a balanced lifestyle and room to grow.
