Nestled deep in the beautiful Canadian wilderness of Quebec’s Lake Kipawa region, our cabins offer not only incredible fishing but a wide range of activities for families, couples, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

1. Kayaking & Canoeing

Start your morning gliding across the glassy waters at sunrise. Paddle through quiet bays surrounded by pine-covered shorelines and watch loons dive beneath your canoe. Whether you’re seeking solitude or a shared adventure, kayaking and canoeing are the perfect way to take in Lake Kipawa’s peaceful beauty.

2. Hiking

Step into the wilderness and explore scenic forest trails teeming with wildlife. From gentle walks to more challenging treks, hiking near Loon & Eagle lets you discover hidden coves, rocky lookouts, and the serene sounds of nature. Don’t forget your camera — you might spot moose tracks or hear the call of a loon echoing through the trees.

3. Wildlife Photography

Nature photographers will be in paradise here. Capture stunning shots of moose, loons, martens, otters, and bald eagles in their natural habitat. Early mornings and golden-hour evenings provide the best light — and the most activity.

4. Swimming

On warm summer days, few things compare to jumping off the dock into the crystal-clear waters of Lake Kipawa. The lake’s clean, fresh water is perfect for a refreshing dip after a day of fishing or hiking.

5. ATV & Mountain Biking

For adventure seekers, the surrounding ATV and mountain-biking trails offer plenty of excitement. Ride the rugged backcountry routes, explore hidden forest paths, and discover breathtaking lake views around every corner.

6. Campfires

As the sun sets, gather around the campfire with friends and family. Roast marshmallows, share your fishing stories, and watch the stars light up the sky. There’s nothing quite like the warmth and crackle of a lakeside fire at night.

7. Berry Picking

Depending on the season, you can find wild blueberries and raspberries growing throughout the forest. Bring a small basket and enjoy a simple, authentic taste of the Canadian wilderness.

8. Relaxing on the Dock

Sometimes the best activity is no activity at all. Sit back on the dock, breathe in the fresh northern air, and let the calm waters of Lake Kipawa remind you what relaxation truly feels like.
