Swimming

The lakes of Gatineau Park await! Five public beaches (serviced) and one beach for campers (Smith Beach) are spread out around Philippe, Meech and La Pêche lakes.

Lifeguards are on duty from 10 am to 6 pm every day from mid-June to Labour Day (beginning of September). Swimming is not allowed at other times or elsewhere in the Park.

Domestic animals are not permitted on beaches. 

An entry fee applies to all vehicles.
