Floatplanes deliver anglers to Réservoir Gouin’s 1,570 square kilometers of wilderness water, where brook trout patrol channels between 8,500 islands. Timber-framed chalets overlooking Lac Supérieur feature cathedral ceilings framing water views through sugar maple canopies, their stone fireplaces warming après-ski gatherings while snowshoes hang beside doors opening onto frozen coves where ice fishers pursue walleye through two-meter-thick winter armor.
Festival Shores and Saguenay Splendor
Montreal’s International Jazz Festival spills across Place des Arts before musicians retreat to Laurentian lakeshores, where private concerts echo across Lac des Sables during July’s festival fortnight drawing 2.5 million listeners. Quebec City’s Winter Carnival transforms frozen waterways into skating highways while ice sculptors carve 50-ton masterpieces beside the St. Lawrence. Lakefront domaines range from restored seigneurial manors overlooking Lac Memphrémagog’s 45-kilometer length to contemporary pavilions perched above Lac Saint-Jean, where picture windows frame 1,155 square kilometers of inland sea famous for blueberry-lined shores and landlocked salmon reaching 22 pounds.
