So ends a winter trip to a cabin, on a lake, in the woods and mountains.

We enjoyed getting out every day to walk in the nature of the area right around the cabin. And on the weekend we enjoyed snowshoe routes at nearby parks.

The Jacques-Cartier region has a lot of easy-to-access winter sport areas including:

• Parc du Grand-Heron
• Station Touristique Duchesay
• Chalet des Sports de Shannon
• Auberge du Mont
• Centre Castor
• Empire 47 (we went here)
• Parc National de la Jacques-Cartier (see this journal of our trip here last year: https://outsideways.com/journals/three-days-at-jacques-cartier-national-park/
• Reserve Faunique Des Laurentides (see this post: https://outsideways.com/journals/entries/3786/)
• Sentier de la Boucle (villestoneham.com)
• Centre de l'Hetre
• Pourvoirie du Lac-Beauport
• Sentiers de Moulin
• Expeditions Panorama
• Sentier de la Montagne a Deux Tetes

I highly recommend the village of Stoneham as home base for your adventures. See this page for map and more info. https://www.jacques-cartier.com/en
