Centre du Pourvoyeur Mastigouche

Centre du Pourvoyeur Mastigouche is a family-run, century-old outfitter in Mandeville, in the Lanaudière region — heir to the 'Mastigouche Fishing & Game Club' that has operated since 1881. Bought by John Koubek when Quebec abolished private clubs in 1971, the estate is run today by Helen Koubek. Anglers come for lake trout and (native) speckled trout on Lac la Chute and the surrounding lakes, staying in cabins (European or American plan) or in the rustic lodge. The site also welcomes family vacations and swimming, and serves as a snowmobile relay in winter. In the fall (October to December), moose, deer, hare and ruffed-grouse hunting are offered. The century-old lodge also has a reception hall for weddings and group events. Several films were shot here (Grey Owl, Les Boys 4) and the estate has hosted many celebrities.
