Club du Lac des Baies

Club du Lac des Baies is a well-known outfitter in the Saguenay region, set in a vast wild territory with 45 lakes open for fishing. The fishery is brook trout (speckled trout), roughly 90% of which are wild; selected lakes are occasionally stocked with speckled trout from 9 to 20 inches. For hunting, the territory offers moose and black bear: parties enjoy exclusive use of one of four predetermined zones (about 15 km² each), with lodging and hunting rights included, and hunters can also pursue partridge, hare and duck. Lodging is in about ten 3- and 4-star chalets sleeping 2 to 15 people around the main Lac des Baies (two of them with wheelchair-access ramps), plus four chalets at the separate Lac Castor site, where pets are welcome. A hundred or so rowboats and rentals of motors and two-seat side-by-side ATVs are available. The site also suits hiking, mountain biking, swimming and pedal boats. In winter, the outfitter offers snowmobiling on groomed and off-trail routes, connected to the provincial networks. Operating since 1965, it is a warm, unpretentious outfitter that adapts through the seasons.
