Overview

Kitesurf spot on Lac Labrecque, a small lake east of Lac Saint-Jean in the Lac-Saint-Jean-Est MRC. This recreational lake offers calm water surrounded by boreal forest. While smaller than Lac Saint-Jean, the lake offers pleasant kitesurfing conditions in sustained wind. The atmosphere is peaceful and family-friendly, typical of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean recreational lakes.
