Outdoor

As the heart of the St. Lawrence region, Cardinal’s waterways have been the conduit of settlement, transportation, commerce and recreation. Boating and canoeing the shallow waters allow for beautiful and unique interactions with nature, while fishing produces countless species of freshwater fish all year.

Cardinal offers a free boat launch for those wishing to go on the water! Swimming and picnics along the water are also always a summer-time favourite.
