Fishing
Fish for yellow pickerel, northern pike and small mouth bass in the Ottawa River. Nearby lakes are stocked with lake and speckled trout and splake. The Dumoine River on the Quebec side directly across from the park is known for its excellent pickerel fishing. (Don't forget to buy a Quebec fishing licence!)
