Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc blends easygoing lake life with access to serious outdoor adventure. Minutes from Shawinigan and within an easy drive of Trois-Rivières, it offers a peaceful base with quick connections to dining, culture, and employment. Weekends often begin in La Mauricie National Park, where paddling routes, panoramic lookouts, and wildlife viewing make every season memorable through the official Parks Canada site for Parc national de la Mauricie. When snow arrives, locals trade hiking boots for skis at Vallée du Parc, a family-friendly hill known for night skiing, glades, and well-groomed learning zones.
Daily life is anchored by the municipality’s programming and services—arena time, library activities, and four-season recreation are coordinated through the official site of the Municipalité de Saint‑Mathieu‑du‑Parc. The village also punches above its weight culturally: Le Rond Coin hosts concerts, markets, and creative stays that draw visitors and neighbors together. Families can access public schooling via the Centre de services scolaire de l’Énergie, with additional secondary and vocational options in nearby Shawinigan. Set within Maskinongé, the area’s real estate ranges from classic waterfront chalets to forested lots on quiet roads, appealing to both year‑round residents and weekend retreat seekers.
