The W8banaki and Andrew heritage lodges are located on the edge of the beautiful lac à la Pêche. They used to be part of the prestigious Laurentian Club, that was once frequented by illustrious Americans, including the Kennedy family. This hunting and fishing club was active in La Mauricie National Park at the time when the park was created in 1970.
