Advisory

Please take note of the following before your visit.

La Pêche Lake is the largest lake in Gatineau Park, and among the furthest from the Capital core. The landscape in this area still preserves many characteristics of a pristine wilderness. The sector is also a popular destination for canoe-camping and fishing. It is open from mid-May until Thanksgiving Monday.

The lake has a launch for non-motorized boats. Bring your own canoe or kayak, or rent one of ours for a few hours or for the day.
