Lac-à-L'Épaule Lodge
 This lodge is offered for fishing packages from mid-May to the beginning of September. In the fall, you can experience a combination of Nature and Gastronomy here! Visit our Rates and Packages section for more information.
"Faire un lac-à-l'épaule" ("Let's do a Lac-à-l'épaule" ) is a French expression that refers to meetings that politicians and business people hold behind closed doors, sheltered from the curious, when they want to discuss a problem in the peace and quiet of an enchanting site.
Lac à l'Épaule is one of the largest lakes in the Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier. In lending its name to political and business meetings, over the past several decades its tranquil waters have swallowed many secrets. In fact, personalities such as Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt and Charles de Gaulle have come here to do their own "Lac-à-l'épaule". In the summer of 1962, under the direction of Premiere Jean Lesage, the Québec government created a precedent when they chose this secluded spot to decide on
the nationalization of hydroelectricity. René Lévesque was in charge of this project.
Rustic Shelters
 IIf you are looking for an interesting compromise between camping and cabin
accommodations, rustic shelters are the perfect choice. Since autumn 2005,
these shelters have all been renovated and they can accommodate from 4 to 6
adults (exclusive accommodations). They have bunk beds with mattresses, a
table, chairs, and a wood stove. Pit toilets are located nearby. Don’t
forget to bring everything you need for lighting and meal preparation. The
shelters are accessible by car in both summer and winter. You can also reach
them on snowshoes, backcountry skis and on foot. You can reserve the rustic
shelters on line.
Accommodations in a cabin, rustic shelter or prospectors camp are presented in a table of rental units and the main services they offer. This specific information will allow you make a quick choice about which unit meets your needs.
