Our cities and towns all have something unique to offer you. Whether it’s a place, a product, a landscape, an attraction or an event, you’ll always have at least five good reasons for visiting them! Here’s Stratford!

By Carolyne Parent

Born in Stratford-upon-Avon, in England, William Shakespeare would have been flattered to learn that we celebrate him even as far as in our Townships! Indeed, the municipality, founded in 1857, chose its name as a tribute to the bard. And perhaps also because Mount Aylmer and the five lakes that are the pride of the territory are enough to inspire amazing outings and certainly some poetic flights of fancy along the way! For sure, Stratford, which subscribes to the horticultural classification program of the Corporation des Fleurons du Québec, sees to its global aesthetic development through sustainable landscaping, and this, for everyone’s greatest pleasure.

Get to the Park by Lake Aylmer

On the Route des Sommets, we recommend you stop here, because this body of water is incredibly beautiful. If you’re a kayaker, you might even consider going up part of the Maskinongé River. Good to know, single, double and children’s kayaks can be rented onsite. And good news for four-legged companions: your dog is welcome in the park, on a leash, except on the beach.

Explore the Maskinongé Marsh

Within the park, on the banks of the eponymous river, the marsh is home to a great variety of aquatic flora and wildlife. You can observe them from the top of a tower offering panoramic views of the site, or by taking the 2 km trail that winds through the wetland.
