Véloroute des Draveurs Bike Route
The Véloroute des Draveurs is a 72 km multi-use trail following an old railway line between Low and Maniwaki, part of the Trans Canada Trail. The surface is a mix of 37 km stone dust (best ridden with a mountain, hybrid, or fat bike) and 35 km paved between Gracefield and Messines.
Along the way, the route winds through forests, marshes, farmland, and alongside lakes — including the picturesque Blue Sea Lake. You'll find free parking, rest stops with toilets and picnic areas in Low, Gracefield, and Messines
Snowmobile Trails – FCMQ
Discover winter in a new way with snowmobile trails around Lake Cayamant, managed by the Fédération des clubs de motoneigistes du Québec (FCMQ). Their interactive map helps you plan rides based on trail status (open, closed, groomed) . Warm-up shelters are available along the route!
Lake Cayamant
At the heart of your stay: the lake. In the summer, enjoy swimming, paddling, or simply soaking up the quiet beauty of the water. Canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards are available at each property.
Fishing enthusiasts will love it here. The lake is home to walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, and even lake trout.
In winter, the lake transforms into a peaceful, snow-covered haven — perfect for a walk or an introduction to ice fishing.
Just bring your gear and make sure to have a valid license!
Public lands
Enjoy a vast natural playground just beyond your doorstep. The surrounding public lands offer year-round hiking, with trails that are also ideal for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter.
At the end of the day, settle in for a cozy campfire right on the property — the perfect way to wind down after a day outside.
Step off the beaten path and breathe in the fresh air!
