Lake St. Jean

Lake Saint-Jean is located in the heart of the Canadian province of Quebec, north of the St. Lawrence River. This is the fifth largest lake in Quebec, its area is one thousand square kilometers. The Kakouchaki Indians who lived on its shores gave the lake the name "Piekoiagami", which means a flat lake.

Saint-Jean is a favorite holiday destination for Quebec residents and a popular tourist destination. Beautiful landscapes, many beaches and warming up to twenty-five degrees in the summer water attract many tourists to the shores of the lake. One of the most prestigious endurance swimming competitions is held here - swimmers cross Saint-Jean, covering a distance of thirty-two kilometers.

Very popular on Saint-Jean sports fishing on lake salmon and pike. And at the northern end of the lake is the Pointe Taion Natural Park, known for its blueberry. So much of this berry grows along the shores of the lake that every year the Blueberry Festival is held here.
