Road from route 155 to the picturesque village of Lac-Édouard

The forest and sometimes winding route between Route 155 (Halte du Curé-Normandin) and the village of Lac-Édouard is worth a detour, especially when passing in front of the reception of the Club Oswego outfitter. Lac Édouard is a good illustration of the great epic of Haute-Batiscanie, marked by the construction of the railway up the Batiscan river from Hervey-Jonction in Mauricie. Visitors discover a picturesque village shaped by the forestry industry, the sanatorium and recreational tourism activities (resorts, outfitters, Zec, protected reserves, hunting & fishing). The municipal beach attracts many visitors. Lac Édouard has two outlets: the Batiscan River and the Jeannotte River. In addition, this municipal territory has three outfitters, the proposed Seigneurie-du-Tritton biodiversity reserve, the Judith-De Brésoles ecological reserve and the Bog-à-Lanières reserve. Visitors can return to downtown La Tuque by taking the Wayagamac Lake Road, to contemplate the falls at milestone 90-511.
