Pourvoirie du Magnan





About
In the heart of Haute-Mauricie, on the vast Gouin Reservoir (1,789 km²), Pourvoirie Barrage Gouin & Magnan operates two sectors. The Magnan sector, accessible in summer only, is a true gem: 53 km from the dam by water-taxi, you reach Île au Magnan and its fine-sand beaches for a stay in an exile cabin (Ermite, Nomade, Havre) or a luxury houseboat (Le Anouk, Le Sonia, Le Georges), with a boat and motor included for two people. The Barrage sector offers a 4-star lodge, a restaurant-microbrewery and cabins. You fish for walleye and pike on the reservoir, plus brook trout on three private lakes (Castor Blanc, Fouille Roche, Caché), with freighter-boat guide service in both sectors. A 100 km² hunting territory hosts small-game hunting (ruffed grouse, spruce grouse, hare, partridge, woodcock) and bear hunting. In winter, snowmobile and ATV link the Trans-Québec Trail 83 to a marked local network. A seaplane base and helipad let you arrive directly by air. An out-of-the-ordinary stay, in absolute tranquillity, run by Carole and Jean Bordeleau.
