Nestled between a lush green forest and crystal blue water, Lac-Simon is a lovely little town on the banks of its namesake - Lake Simon. Lying at the centre of the Outaouais region in western Quebec, Lac-Simon’s beautiful “pond” is the big draw to this area. An hour’s drive from Ottawa, Lac-Simon is the perfect getaway for those seeking mainly water recreation and true relaxation. Lac-Simon boasts a 2 kilometre (1.24 miles) long beach, consisting of fine sandy shores and clear sparkling water. The neighbouring wooded area is 4 square kilometres (1.54 square miles) and showcases impressive walking and biking trails for all abilities, from the novice to the seasoned pro. A bevvy of summer activity doesn’t mean Lac-Simon is dormant in winter. When blanketed with snow, the area is ripe for ice skating, skiing, snowboarding, ice fishing, and other chilly diversions. Summer or winter? Whichever season you choose, stay in excellent comfort at one of these exceptional Airbnb vacation rentals.
