Lac-Édouard sets the pace for life by the water, with clear lake vistas and trail-laced forest minutes from the village core. Everyday needs are close at hand in La Tuque, while dining, culture, and shopping await in Shawinigan, Trois-Rivières, and Québec City.
Outdoors, history, and hospitality meet at the storied Pourvoirie du Club Triton, a 19th‑century sporting lodge that still hosts anglers and nature lovers on remote headwater lakes. Wildlife territory is vast: explore the canoe routes and backcountry roads of ZEC de la Bessonne or plan day trips to La Mauricie National Park for scenic drives, hiking, and classic Laurentian swimming holes. Winter brings cross‑country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobile loops that turn the surrounding boreal into a playground.
