A family activity par excellence, ice fishing, or ice fishing as we call it in Quebec, will delight both young and old fishermen!

Well installed on the frozen pond, you will be in a great position to tease the trout!

With your family or on your own, you can enjoy the tranquility of nature and the proximity of several animal species. According to our statistics (not scientific), there is a good chance that you will come across a deer on your trail! Keep your eyes open!

Skates

SHOW US YOUR BEST TRICKS!

When winter sets in, our pond is transformed into two huge skating rinks that are maintained daily. One is very often used for team sports, and the other forms a magnifying glass around the fishermen who patiently wait for a trout to bite the hook. Put on one of our pairs of skates and show us what you can do!
