Travel Guide Grand-Remous

Located at the end of Highway 105 North, at the junction of Highway 117, the municipality of Grand-Remous is well known for its 102-meter long covered bridge, the Savoyard Bridge. Its name comes from the Algonquin Obémiticwang meaning "agitated waters or big eddies". It is also one of the gateways to the famous Baskatong reservoir. Created in 1927 following the construction of the Mercier Dam, this artificial lake has a surface area of 320 km2, making it a veritable inland sea. The banks, mostly sandy, surround the lake for about 2,800 km. The Baskatong is renowned for its fishing, boating and vacationing.
