On the water

Lac Saint-Jean, Pointe-Taillon peninsula. Warm freshwater in summer (20-24°C). Fine sand beaches with very progressive depth. Considerable fetch in multiple directions thanks to the peninsula. Ideal sandy bottom. Moderate chop in sustained wind. The peninsula tip offers the best conditions with clean wind.

Hazards

Paid access to national park (Sépaq entry fees). Violent thunderstorms possible in summer — the lake is very exposed. Short steep waves in strong wind. The peninsula is long — plan for return time. Current possible at the Péribonka River mouth nearby.
