About

Aventure Lac Saint-Jean is an adventure-guide service based in Roberval, on the beautiful Lac Saint-Jean. Led by Transport Canada certified guide and captain Charles Dufour (19 years of experience, with a diploma in wildlife-territory protection and management), the business runs very-small-group outings (max 10) focused on a quality experience and sustainable practices. In winter, guided ice fishing (December 20 to March 31) takes place in secluded cabins set out on the lake ice — snowmobile transport, Garmin LiveScope sonar and all gear included — for walleye, pike and perch; guided half-day snowmobile rides are also offered. In summer, guided boat fishing targets walleye and landlocked salmon, and cruises (historic or private sunset outings) explore the lake departing from the Roberval marina. In spring and summer, guided observation of wild black bears and beavers offers an authentic wildlife encounter deep in the forest, with an excellent sighting rate.
