The Lanaudière region (administrative region 14) stretches from the Laurentian Plateau to the St. Lawrence River. Roughly fifteen outfitters can be found in the region, with its deciduous forests and countless streams and lakes that are home to the most popular sportfish in southern Québec. Speckled trout and rainbow trout are an angler’s dream. Game animals include moose, black bears, hares, ruffed grouse and ducks. Many snowmobiling and quad trails criss-cross the area. Extreme athletes will be able to practice their favourite sports here as well. Only a few dozen kilometres from Montréal, the Lanaudière region is perfect to explore the beauty of nature and go ice fishing.

Laurentides (15)
Located north-west of Montréal, the Laurentides region (administrative region 15) is the leisure destination of choice for Montrealers, owing to its highly developed recreational facilities. The Laurentides region is renown for its resorts and fishing and hunting packages, boasting over 35 outfitters, most of which are in the Upper Laurentians. Walleye, speckled trout and pike are the major sportfish caught in the area. Big game animals, like the black bear, moose and white-tailed deer, are hunted here. The spectacular fall colours in the region’s deciduous forests draw many visitors. Local outfitters agree that the forests are as equally attractive bedecked in a cloak of wintery white—a snowmobile ride into the woods will confirm this. A must-see!

Montérégie (16)
The Montérégie region (administrative region 16) is situated near Montréal and encompasses part of the St. Lawrence Plains. As human settlement is so widespread in this region, only a few outfitters are found here, mainly offering white-tailed deer hunting, river fishing, camping and several outdoor activities. If you do not have a lot of time to spend travelling, contact one of the outfitters in the Montérégie region.
