Rivière-de-la-Savane rewards people who crave space, silence, and sky. Set within the forested expanse of Mékinac between Shawinigan and La Tuque, it feels wonderfully remote yet remains practical, with Route 155 providing a direct line to services and culture in Trois-Rivières. Think glassy lakes for dawn paddles, miles of ATV and snowmobile routes, and wildlife sightings that become routine.
Weekends here are geared toward the outdoors. Explore boreal hills, waterfalls, and excellent paddling in immersive settings like La Mauricie National Park, managed by Parks Canada. Anglers and backcountry campers gravitate to the Saint-Maurice Wildlife Reserve, while seasoned adventurers test their skills on the rugged trails and fishing lakes of the Zec du Chapeau-de-Paille. For a family-friendly day, zip-lines, river lookouts, and heritage hydro stations await at Parc de la rivière Batiscan.
Families benefit from school options in nearby communities. French-language education is overseen by the Centre de services scolaire de l’Énergie, and English-language students are served by the Central Québec School Board, including schools in Trois-Rivières. Post-secondary pathways run through the Cégep de Shawinigan and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, broadening choices without sacrificing the region’s peaceful lifestyle.
