A very easy-going outing, from Middle Landing to the rope bridge and back. BYO snacks and drinks (we strongly recommend hot cocoa). Check out the event page for more details!
5. Go snowmobiling!
Where: On the Northern Odyssey
When: Anytime!
There’s no other way to put it: if you haven’t gone snowmobiling on the Chaleur region’s extensive trail system, you’re missing out.
*If you’re not yet convinced, we published a great article all about snowmobiling in the Chaleur region.
Reach out to one of the three snowmobile clubs – Chaleur Snowmobile Club, Supervillage Trailblazers, and Nepisiguit Sports Lodge – and ask them about their many activities and suppers. You’ll surely have a blast, make new friends and maybe even discover your new favourite winter hobby!
6. Escape Mission Evasion
Where: 30 Chemin Tremblay, Petit-Rocher Sud
When: Anytime! (Call ahead)
You’ll have between 45 and 60 minutes, locked in a room with your friends, to search for clues and solve puzzles.
Can you escape?
Call ahead of time to book your session!
