Timeline
15:32
Get to Camp Sable chaud on Lake Matapedia. It is a non-profit summer camp, but in January the grounds are open for quiet reflection. Settle in to watch the sky.
16:02
Watch the sunset at 16:02. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows across Lake Matapedia. The golden light starts at 15:10, so you have been there in time for the full transition.
16:47
Head in for a warm drink or a light bite. Since it is a camp, check if the on-site facilities are open for evening visitors or if there is a local café nearby that stays open this late. If you need to find a spot, check the route to the nearest open establishment.
Local tip
January evenings in Amqui get dark fast and stay cold. Bring a warm coat. The camp is on Lake Matapedia, so the wind off the water can be chilly after the sun goes down.

- Camp Sable chaud is a summer camp. In January, check if the building is open for visitors or if you are just using the exterior grounds.
