Spot de Port-Saint-François/Nicolet

Port-Saint-François/Nicolet

Port-Saint-François/Nicolet

Overview

Port-Saint-François is a spot on the south shore of Lac Saint-Pierre, near Nicolet, in the Centre-du-Québec region. This area offers direct access to the largest widening of the St. Lawrence River (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve).

The spot benefits from the considerable fetch of Lac Saint-Pierre, particularly with north and northwest winds. The beaches and shores of Port-Saint-François allow easy launching. The very shallow water makes the spot relatively safe. Season from June to October.
