There's so much to do at Lac Boivin. On the eastern shore you have the lakeside town of Granby, complete with restaurants, cafes and galleries. A swim in the lake after a day riding or hiking is a must. On the northern shore you'll find the impressive 'Centre d'interprétation de la nature du lac Boivin', an official Important Bird Area (IBA), including a marsh which is a refuge and resting place for many birds. It's accessible all year round, enabling visitors to discover a wide variety of flora and fauna. And on the eastern shore you'll find the start of the Parc National de la Yamaska. It's a natural wonderland, but also a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. The cycling, hiking, swimming and boating are second to none.
