In the heart of the beautiful Outaouais region, Lac-Simon is a true outdoor paradise for adventure seekers and families looking for a peaceful getaway alike. Known for its crystal-clear waters and sandy bottoms, this vast body of water offers an enchanting setting where the Laurentian Mountains are reflected in an azure mirror. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, the area offers a total immersion in wild yet accessible nature, halfway between Gatineau and Montreal. 

The region’s main attraction is undoubtedly the Lac-Simon Tourist Centre, managed by Sépaq. Its two-kilometer stretch of fine sand rivals any southern destination and serves as the ultimate summer gathering spot. The shallow waters are safe for swimming, while water sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the lake’s vast expanse for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), or canoeing. Boating and fishing enthusiasts will also find lots to enjoy, as the lake is home to many prized fish, including lake trout and bass.
