Roberval balances lakeside living with year-round activity on the shores of Lac Saint‑Jean. Residents enjoy an animated waterfront, broad sunsets, and community events anchored by the world‑class Traversée internationale du lac St‑Jean, an open‑water swim that turns the city into a summer festival. Cyclists circle the region via the renowned Véloroute des Bleuets, while beach days and paddle outings are within minutes, and the sandy shores of Parc national de la Pointe‑Taillon are a short scenic drive away.
Families appreciate practical amenities and strong public services. The Ville de Roberval maintains parks, arenas, and a bustling marina, and the local school network, including École secondaire Curé‑Hébert under the Centre de services scolaire du Pays‑des‑Bleuets, supports programs in arts, sport, and trades. For weekend adventures, the waterfalls and period streets of the Village historique de Val‑Jalbert in nearby Chambord and the immersive Zoo sauvage de Saint‑Félicien in Saint‑Félicien are regional favorites.
Commuting is straightforward to Alma and Saguenay, yet Roberval retains an easygoing pace, with neighborhoods ranging from century homes near the river to newer builds closer to schools and sports facilities. Four distinct seasons bring skating, cross‑country skiing, cycling, and boating, so staying active never requires a long drive.
