Located around 60 km west of Saguenay, upstream of the river of the same name, Lake Saint-Jean is the third-largest lake in Quebec. Pleasant to discover in every season, it is a natural site brimming with outdoor activities, both on land and on the water. And when it freezes over in winter, it is highly recommended to make the most of it by heading out on a snowmobile excursion from Saint-Gédéon, with the opportunity to ride directly on the lake if conditions are optimal! This unique experience is offered by the Équinox Aventure team, made up of passionate guides who will be delighted to show you Lake Saint-Jean via snowmobile trails winding between snow-covered forests and the frozen lake.
To enjoy your guided snowmobile tour at Lake Saint-Jean in complete safety, you will follow a certified OHV guide who will not only provide all the equipment needed for your comfort (full snowmobile gear, including helmet, gloves, etc.), but also a comprehensive briefing and introduction to handling the machine. Whether you are riding as a driver or a passenger, or even both if you can swap places during the outing, you will enjoy a memorable 2.5 hours in the saddle of a recent, easy-to-handle 4-stroke snowmobile. Thrilling rides along snowy trails await you, along with stunning winter landscapes across the frozen lake and its surroundings! And if luck is on your side, you might even encounter some of the region’s small wildlife along the way (hares, squirrels, foxes, etc.).
Open to all licensed drivers aged 18 and over, as well as to minors from 134 cm tall as passengers, this snowmobile ride at Lake Saint-Jean is an activity not to be missed this winter near Saguenay. So don’t wait any longer to head to Saint-Gédéon and enjoy this getaway along a 50 to 70 km snowy route right in the heart of Quebec’s wilderness!
