Enjoy Témiscouata

Open since 2025, the Centre d’interprétation des salmonidés et des écosystèmes aquatiques (Salmonids and Aquatic Ecosystems Interpretation Centre) promotes the conservation of salmonid species and aquatic ecosystems in eastern Quebec. It offers visitors an unforgettable experience through its permanent exhibition and temporary exhibits. Several nature interpretation activities are also available, such as a themed trail connecting the church to the lake. Visitors can also enjoy fly-fishing workshops, stop by the gift shop, go on a pontoon boat ride on the lake, dine bistro-style and more.

Since 1990, Vallier Robert has been developing a truly unique expertise, fermenting maple sap into alcoholic beverages known as “acers,” available in white, sparkling, aperitif and digestif varieties. Visitors can tour the ultra-modern sugar shack and the aging cellars where these acers are carefully stored, before heading to the shop to sample a selection of acers, gourmet products and organic maple syrups. A marked trail also winds through the maple grove, inviting you to extend the experience into the forest.

Explore Fort Ingall, a faithful reconstruction of a British fort built in 1839 on the shores of Lake Témiscouata during a border conflict between the United States and Canada. Wander through the exhibition halls on a guided tour and uncover the stories that shaped the region. For a truly immersive experience, you can even spend the night in the fort’s dormitory!

Viv-Herbes features gardens dedicated to growing medicinal and aromatic plants, alongside a rustic shop offering more than 75 natural herbal products, all grown and processed on site, including products for health, personal care and cooking. You can also enjoy a self-guided tour of the gardens with interpretive signs, including a guided visit to the drying shed and a tasting presentation of the products. The gardens are open from July 15 through Labour Day Sunday.
