In the
Chaudière-Appalaches region, 150 km from Quebec City, there is a pretty village called Beaulac-Garthby, which stands on the shores of Ward Bay, a widening of Lake Aylmer.
A beautiful stay awaits you in a cottage near or on the edge of this beautiful lake Aylmer which is undoubtedly the major attraction of Beaulac-Garthby. Enjoy the lake for sport fishing to find at the end of your hook walleye, pike or yellow perch. Enjoy whole days of bathing in the lake or sailing, water skiing, canoeing, kayaking, or admiring the incredible landscape on the "federal wharf". Bellerive Park welcomes you with picnic areas, a marina with 52 pitches, a boat launch and a dock for visitors. The "Trail of origins" is a pedestrian path along the lake that will take you to the Coulombe River.
Not to be missed, an out of the ordinary activity to do as a couple, with friends or family, is that of strolling on the “vélorails” of Beaulac-Garthby. This is a great way to visit the countryside while moving! If you take the route of 20 km, stop at the cheese factory, matter of getting strength for the way back. The course will also make you discover the cottages to dream with views of the lake. As for fans or true cycling buffs, know that the Lake Aylmer Cycling Tour takes place every year in August and offers two courses, recreational or competitive. For those who love music, they will be thrilled with the event "Concerts under the trees". At the edge of the water, you will find yourself in a country setting to enjoy the popular music. In winter, several sports can be practised nearby such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking, snowmobiling, skating and ice fishing. No need to tell you more, all the reasons are there to convince you to rent your next cottage in this beautiful region of Chaudière-Appalaches!
