For about twenty kilometres, you will have the incredible opportunity to discover landscapes where you will no longer see the mainland, and you will hear the captain and naturalist of Aventure Lac-Saint-Jean tell you a thousand and one stories of this large body of water that covers more than 1000 km2.
