Lake Carmel — Kanamouche

Lake Carmel is the main body of water around which activities at the Kan-à-Mouche outfitter, located in Saint-Michel-des-Saints in Lanaudière, are centered. Founded in 1945 by Carmelle Daury, the outfitter is nestled directly on the shores of this lake with crystal-clear waters, surrounded by spruces and hundred-year-old pines. Lake Carmel is a headwater lake that is regularly stocked to maintain a large population of brook trout and rainbow trout year-round. Outdoor and water activities are varied: fishing in summer and winter (ice fishing), canoeing, swimming, and wildlife observation, notably of ospreys and loons. Rowboats are provided on site, and only electric motors and electric pontoons are permitted. The daily catch limit is set at 8 trout, with a total possession limit of 15 trout for guests staying overnight, and catch-and-release is prohibited. A network of hiking and interpretation trails surrounds Lake Carmel, offering superb panoramic views of the surrounding forest environment.
