WelcomeLocated in Haute-Mauricie, Oscar Lake Outfitters has an exclusive territory for hunting and fishing of 234 km² (145 mi²) ! Our site has about thirty lakes and more than 5 km of trails for trout fishing. In addition, the territory of our outfitters is along the beautiful reservoir Blanc, navigable on a distance of 80 km. After more than 40 years, our renown is based on our genuine passion for nature, the quality of our equipment and the comfort of our four stars rated cottages. We hope to see you soon !

The outfittersDuring the 60s, Marc Farrar frequently brings his family camping in his "little natural paradise" where the Saint-Maurice and Flamand Rivers meet, where you can hunt and fish. The expedition is all the more exciting because the site is only accessible by train!The exceptional attachment of the father to this spot will gradually make him buy two cottages while his project of sharing this extraordinary region with other nature lovers like him is slowly taking shape.

The Farrar business modestly but passionately starts its activities in 1974. Unfortunately, Mr Farrar dies in 1976. Guided by the same passion, the family decides to persue their father's dream. Over the years, several cottages and a beautiful inn were in operation.

In 1987, a road (25 west) is built about 30 km (20 mi) south of the outfitter, at Flamand Lake. The Farrar family buys the small Pourvoirie du Lac Oscar that was at that time only accessible by floatplane, and extends it. A investment project that consists of constructing 15 cottages in white pine and a check station.

And we have a lot of projects! After more than 40 years in business, we still love what we do. With our website, we hope to continue to give you information, but mostly, to share with you the passion within us. The history continues little by little...
