Favourites and Discoveries from Témiscamingue
Admiring the rolling fields and deep lakes stretching to horizon.
Hiking through the forest of mixed stands, on a sweet-smelling carpet of conifer needles.
Tasting the incredible flavors and smells of food harvested and prepared by dedicated and passionate people and stimulating our taste buds.
Letting oneself be carried away by the stories about spring drive, fur trade and early days of colonization while enjoying modern-day comfort.
And when time comes to celebrate, joining the lively crowds that gather for creative events.

Musée de la gare et circuit de conduites forcées
The Témiscaming station was built in 1927 by the Canadian Pacific. A considerable amount for the time was spent on its construction. In fact, approximately $ 30,000 was invested. It is therefore an ambitious project, both in terms of the size of the building and the construction techniques and materials chosen: a brick masonry structure, concrete floors and exterior cladding in brick and stone. The Georgian style of the station’s architecture makes it unique in Canada.
The Temiscaming old pipelines have marked the Town’s urban landscape and the collective memories of the “Témiscaminois” for many decades either by their imposing size or by the segmentation of the Town they created. The Témiscaming Old pipelines Interpretive Circuit traces the history of these old pipes that carried water from the Lumsden dam to operate the Kipawa hydroelectric generating station on Lac Témiscamingue. It provides a description of all the archaeological remains from the hydroelectric industry. It presents the interpretative potential of this hydroelectric heritage, particularly of these water pipes, which for half a century have been a defining element of the Temiscaming urban landscape.
