Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette pairs river-valley living with easy access to city conveniences, drawing outdoor lovers and families alike. Set along the Lièvre River, it offers panoramic water views, quiet forest roads, and four-season recreation—paddling calm bays and island camping on the Parc régional du Poisson Blanc, casting for walleye, or roaming deep-woods lakes and trails in the Réserve faunique de Papineau‑Labelle. Commuters appreciate a straightforward drive to Gatineau and Ottawa, while day-to-day errands are easily handled in nearby Buckingham. The wider Papineau area adds farmers’ markets, sugar shacks, and scenic backroads that make weekend exploring a pleasure.
Families will find French-language public schools administered locally through the Centre de services scolaire au Cœur‑des‑Vallées, while the Western Québec School Board provides English options in the vicinity, including in Buckingham. For regional healthcare, residents look to the CISSS de l’Outaouais network. Housing spans riverfront cottages, wooded acreages, and year-round homes, with space to store kayaks, snowmobiles, and garden tools—perfect for an active, outdoorsy lifestyle.
Whether you’re drawn by a slower pace on the Lièvre, access to iconic Outaouais wilderness, or a manageable commute paired with great value, this community makes it easy to settle in.
