Paddle Beneath Mont Pinacle

Start your getaway at Lake Lyster in Baldwin Mills, where you can launch your own watercraft and enjoy a peaceful paddle with beautiful views of Mont Pinacle. The beach and picnic areas make this a great place to unpack the lunch you prepared the night before—or pour yourself a well-earned cup of hot chocolate from your thermos. Want to stretch your legs too? Mont Pinacle offers a 3-km trail to the summit, where sweeping views become even more spectacular when the surrounding landscape turns shades of red, orange, and gold.

Raise a Glass at Hop Station Microbrewery

After your outdoor adventure, head to Hop Station Microbrewery in Coaticook for a relaxed meal and a taste of locally brewed beer. The lineup ranges from classic styles to seasonal creations inspired by regional fruit and beers aged in oak barrels. Feeling adventurous? Try the Cidzler, a drink combining malt and apple juice, or keep things quintessentially Québec with a hearty poutine. Good beer, good food, and a laid-back atmosphere—exactly what you need after a day outside.

Spend the Night at Mont Expérience Hereford

At Mont Expérience Hereford, the mountain becomes your playground. Located steps from the trails, this campground is an ideal base for hiking, mountain biking, swimming, and simply soaking up the quiet of the forest.

Take in the Fall Colours from Mont Hereford

After a night surrounded by nature, start your morning with a climb up Mont Hereford. In fall, the trail winds through brilliant foliage before reaching an observation tower with sweeping views over the Eastern Townships, Vermont, and New Hampshire. It's one of those places that makes you want to stop, look around, and stay awhile.

Check In... on the Water

After a morning on the mountain, change the pace completely with a stay at Bora Boréal in Bury. Its eight eco-friendly floating cabins offer a getaway that's both unusual and deeply relaxing. Designed for couples, the Minibora and Boraville cabins blend contemporary architecture with their natural surroundings, with expansive glass overlooking the water and terraces made for slowing down and taking in the view. The cozy, fully equipped cabins also feature outdoor fireplaces, are dog-friendly, and come with complimentary access to thermal baths. And when night falls? With dark skies overhead and water just outside your door, there's very little reason to be anywhere else.

Treat Yourself to a Farm-to-Table Dinner

Just 20 minutes away, Les Mal-Aimés in Cookshire-Eaton offers a farm-to-table dining experience that feels both refined and wonderfully grounded. The restaurant draws heavily on produce grown right on its own farm, complemented by carefully selected ingredients from artisans throughout the region and Québec. Chefs Yannick Côté and Daniel Charbonneau transform those ingredients into creative dishes where the local products remain the stars. It's little wonder the restaurant has earned recognition from the Michelin Guide. Good to know: Dining is by reservation only, allowing the team to offer a more personalized culinary experience.

Slow Down in Saint-Camille

After a dreamy night on the water, head toward Saint-Camille and Café du Flâneur, located inside the village's beloved cultural hub, P'tit Bonheur de Saint-Camille. Part of the Cafés de village network, it's the kind of warm, welcoming place where locals and visitors naturally linger. On the menu: savoury croissant sandwiches, hearty salads, pizzas, and the house specialty—the famous röstis du Flâneur, a crispy potato pancake topped with your choice of ham, vegetarian ingredients, salmon, or gravlax and served with a salad. Local ingredients, comforting flavours, and friendly people make this exactly the kind of place where lunch has a habit of lasting a little longer than planned.
Discover

Climb Mont Ham

Once you're fuelled up, head to Parc régional du Mont-Ham for one of the region's signature hikes. The rocky summit rewards you with panoramic 360-degree views over a landscape of forests, farmland, and rolling hills. More than 10 hiking routes range from easy to challenging, so you can choose the adventure that best matches your energy level. Before leaving, make time for Espace Abénakis, a multifunctional interpretive space highlighting the Wabanaki Nation's presence on the land. The space was created through a collaboration between the Wabanaki Nation and the Sources region.

End Your Getaway at Écogîtes Inspire

After an afternoon of hiking, give your muscles—and your mind—a well-deserved break at Écogîtes Inspire. Set on 55 acres overlooking Mont Ham, this peaceful retreat specializes in unusual nature accommodations, including domes, yurts, and a Lotus tent. Your stay includes access to the spa, sauna, yoga studio, and on-site trails, making it an ideal place to slow down and recharge after three days of adventure. Settle in, take in the view, and let the quiet do the rest. Three days of hiking, paddling, local flavours, memorable meals, and unexpected places to sleep—proof that a fall getaway in the Eastern Townships can be every bit as adventurous as it is relaxing.
