Mulgrave-et-Derry offers a serene, lake-dotted setting with quick connections to Gatineau and Thurso in Papineau, making it a smart choice for those who want space, fresh air, and accessible amenities. Days here revolve around the water and woods: quiet paddles at sunrise, afternoon fishing, and star-filled skies that remind you why people choose country living. Nature lovers can explore the old-growth trails at the nearby Forêt-la-Blanche Ecological Reserve, cared for by the Forêt-la-Blanche conservation team, while cyclists and birders find rich habitat and open roads all around. For a bigger adventure, wetlands and river vistas await at Parc national de Plaisance.
Families appreciate practical essentials close at hand. English-language education is available through the Western Quebec School Board, while French-language schools serve the broader Lièvre Valley corridor. Healthcare, including hospital and CLSC services, is coordinated by the CISSS de l’Outaouais, and everyday errands are easily handled in Thurso or on the east side of Gatineau. Seasonal life—ice fishing, snowmobiling, and maple season—adds rhythm to the calendar, and summer brings dockside barbecues and quiet coves perfect for swimming.
