Packington offers a peaceful, wide-open setting where forest, farmland, and hills frame everyday life, yet essentials and amenities remain close at hand in nearby Pohénégamook, Dégelis, Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, and Rivière-du-Loup. Part of the Témiscouata region, the community moves with the seasons—sugaring in spring, lake days and trail rides in summer, hunting and spectacular foliage in fall, and deep-snow sports all winter.
Families are served by the Centre de services scolaire du Fleuve-et-des-Lacs, which coordinates elementary options in the area and smooth bused commutes to secondary studies at the Cité étudiante de Dégelis. For post-secondary pathways, the Cégep de Rivière-du-Loup offers diverse programs that let students stay connected to home while preparing for in-demand careers. Health services are organized through the CISSS du Bas-Saint-Laurent, with clinics and hospitals in the wider network for comprehensive care.
Outdoors, residents make the most of Parc national du Lac‑Témiscouata, where old-growth forests, lakeside beaches, and interpretive programs reward frequent visits. Cyclists and Nordic skiers love the Parc linéaire interprovincial Petit Témis, a scenic rail‑trail linking communities across the region. Anglers and hunters head for Zec Owen, prized for quiet waters, wildlife, and backcountry camps. For festivals, cultural outings, and four‑season trip ideas, Tourisme Témiscouata keeps the calendar full.
