FISHING:
Catches in good years have ranged up to 165 fish although the wild
Atlantic salmon has become almost an endangered species of late and
catches have decreased substantially. The fishing is still good enough
to attract family and friends, but we have taken steps to diversify
our activities. The wilderness setting offers rare opportunities.
The Upsalquitch, which above the camp flows through a deep valley
far from any settlement, offers an experience almost unique in the
Maritimes. We generally "put in" about twenty kilometres above the
camp and paddle down four and a half hours, including breaks for lunch,
and a swim, to Watiqua. The Restigouche itself is nearby and trips
are only limited by the imagination.
BIKING & HIKING NEARBY:
The camp
has three trail bikes. The abandoned rail line running past
the camp has become a part of what is known as the Restigouche
Trail. Check Restigouchetrail.tripod.com
for details of the trail and pictures of the river near the camp. Again, excursions
maybe arranged to suit. The camp offers excellent opportunities for hiking.
GOLF:
There
is an 18 hole golf course 50 kilometres away, the
Resigouche Golf Club.
OTHER NEARBY ATTRACTIONS:
The beautiful Gaspe Peninsula is also close by. And
of course, nothing could be finer than sitting on the verandah with
a good book or sitting around the fire on the often cool evenings
with good friends and family.
