Discover Kanawata 2021

The outfitter

Pourvoirie Kanawata stretches across 77 km² of wild country on the shore of majestic Lac Manouane, north of Saint-Michel-des-Saints in the Lanaudière region. Its 27 lakes, carefully managed against overfishing, make it a quality fishing destination, while the exclusive-rights territory hosts guided bear hunting over baited sites. Summer or winter, Kanawata is a vast playground: an ATV and snowmobile trail relay, a beach and swimming, kayaks and paddleboards, pontoon rentals, snowshoe walks and wildlife watching — the territory is even home to an osprey nesting area. You stay at the lakefront inn, in about ten rooms with a full private

bathroom and Wi-Fi, or in one of the twelve freshly renovated chalets sleeping two to fifteen people. A restaurant-bar serves three-course meals and a snack-bar menu. Reachable by road (gravel roads) or by floatplane, wheeled aircraft and helicopter.

Its story

It was in the 1970s that the passion for hunting, fishing, ATV riding, and snowmobiling first took root at Pourvoirie Kanawata, located in the Mauricie region, north of Saint-Michel-des-Saints and on the shores of Lac Manouane. Originally, the territory belonged to the Canadian International Paper Company (CIP) and welcomed loggers and raft drivers. Over more than 50 years of history and through different owners, the property has grown to become a popular vacation destination. The original buildings were first renovated before the site was fully rebuilt to offer its current facilities: a lodge with ten energy-efficient rooms, twelve fully equipped

chalets, a restaurant-bar, and a 1.2 km long airstrip. Today, on a wild 77 km² property, the Kanawata team continues the tradition of excellence and friendly hospitality. An essential stop for snowmobilers and quad riders, connected to the federated trail network, the outfitter offers packages for bear hunting, fishing, as well as a variety of summer and winter activities for families or friends.

Territory and geography

The Pourvoirie Kanawata is located in the Mauricie region, on the territory of La Tuque. Set directly along the shores of lac Manouane, the outfitter is about a 2 h 25 drive north of Saint-Michel-des-Saints. The property is set in the heart of a vast, remote forest area, offering a peaceful natural setting amid the great untamed outdoors. The territory is directly connected to the federated trail system, providing access to more than 75 square kilometers of exploration terrain.

This natural setting includes 27 preserved lakes that have been protected from overfishing so that aquatic ecosystems can regenerate and maintain abundant fish populations, particularly trout. On land, the outfitter’s grounds are home to preserved wild forests that provide a favorable habitat for both big game and small game. Black bears are present in good density and are the subject of guided hunts on previously baited sites. Moose and small game also roam

A prime place to stay. The place is magical, the staff very welcoming and pleasant. You eat well, you sleep well. Ideal after a great day of snowmobiling and before hitting the road again in the middle of resplendent Canadian nature.

Kanawata "where adventure flows, in the middle of nowhere" If you are looking to disconnect in nature, you will be in the right place! The feeling of peacefulness is instant when entering the lodge, with the spectacular view of Lake Manouane. Warm place, just like the staff who will make you feel right at home!

I would like to highlight the warm welcome we received upon our arrival. Cindy, Maxou you are wonderful hosts. The food from chef Martin and his assistant is excellent. We have never eaten so well at an outfitter. The dining room decor, the view of Lake Manouane and the terrace add to the treat for the eyes. Thank you again for this great weekend.
