Baie-de-la-Bouteille balances wide-open wilderness with easy access to essentials, drawing outdoor lovers and quiet-seekers alike. Set within the forest and lake country of Matawinie, it offers waterfront cabins, expansive crown land, and starlit skies perfect for unplugging. Warm months bring paddling and fishing across the Lac Taureau basin, anchored by the trail network and beaches of the official Parc régional du Lac Taureau. Come winter, snowshoeing and snowmobiling carry you through spruce stands and over frozen bays, with classic Laurentian vistas and wildlife sightings. Day trips to the Mastigouche wildlife reserve and the rugged hills above Saint-Zénon add even more backcountry to explore, while waterfalls and picnic spots around Rawdon round out weekend plans.
