Smith Bay Camp is an exclusive, secluded wilderness retreat on the shores of Smith Bay, Lake Kipawa, near Laniel in Quebec's Témiscamingue region. The camp is accessible by boat only — a roughly 30-minute crossing from a secure mainland parking area — making it an intimate, peaceful destination far from the bustle of city life. Fishing is the star: Lake Kipawa, known for its bays, hidden coves and deep waters, holds walleye, northern pike, lake trout and smallmouth bass. The camp also offers a self-guided (unguided) moose hunt — calling, still-hunting and stand hunting — across vast, low-pressure territory. Lodging
