1 Hit the lakes

With warmer temperatures it's the perfect time to grab a kayak or paddleboard and explore the beautiful Lac Beauvert or Pyramid Lake. Rentals are available at both locations, as well as a variety of other watercraft. Public transit is also available to both of these lakes, if you are travelling without a vehicle.
