About

Established in 1967, Pourvoirie Windigo is a small family outfitter northwest of La Tuque, in the Haute-Mauricie, set along the St-Maurice River near the mouth of the Windigo River that gives it its name. In zone 26, it is known for walleye and pike fishing (from the Patriots' Day weekend in May to Thanksgiving in October), with a boat, 4-stroke motor and first tank of gas included in every package. Spring adds black bear hunting (June 1-30, guided, over baited sites), followed by small-game hunting — ruffed grouse, spruce grouse and hare — on foot, by ATV or by truck. In winter, 12 km from the Trans-Québec 83 trail, the outfitter becomes a crossroads for snowmobilers and also welcomes self-guided snowshoers and backcountry skiers. Lodging comes as chalets, camps and inn rooms, all on the bank of the St-Maurice River, on a European plan or an American plan (with meals). Facilities include a bar with a pool table, a cold room, freezers, WiFi and a telephone, plus on-site sale of bait, ice and licences. Owned by Daniel and Martine, who have lived there year-round since 2005, it aims to deliver pleasant, affordable stays for beginners and seasoned outdoors-people alike.
