The Water ”Spots”

In the Haut-Saint-François region, there is no shortage of choices when it comes to selecting a body of water: the rivière au Saumon, the lac d’Argent, the lac Aylmer, the rivière Saint-François and many others. There are also several activities that allow you to enjoy the coolness of the water, which is always appreciated in the summer.

Watercraft rentals

What better way to enjoy a river or lake than to rent a canoe or kayak and go on an adventure? Several places offer watercraft rentals, including the P.-E. Perreault beach. It is possible to kayak, pedal boat and even paddle board. The scenery of Lac d’Argent is sure to enchant you. The Walter-MacKenzie Park offers canoe, kayak and pedal boat rentals. You can then enjoy the enchanting landscape of the Salmon River and the Marécage-des-Scots regional park. Finally, Domaine Sévigny also offers canoe, kayak and pedal boat rentals, but also a swimming area! A great way to cool off on hot days. Note, however, that this offer is available to visitors to the domain only (overnight stay on site).

Swimming

Whether you want to soak your feet or spend hours in the water, there are many places to swim. If you were planning to spend an afternoon paddleboarding at P.-E. Perreault Beach, be sure to arrive early to take advantage of the swimming area!

Lingwick Township also has its own municipal beach. Bring your picnic and enjoy the sun and the salmon river. The beach is located on the rang des Pointes. Nearby is the McVetty-McKenzie covered bridge. At 63 meters long, it is the longest (and most beautiful) in the Eastern Townships. There is also an unsupervised swimming area.
