Lac des Nations
A lake formed in central Sherbrooke when the Magog River was dammed, with a lakeside trail and night fountains that locals love.
Lac des Nations is a lake created in downtown Sherbrooke after the Magog River was dammed. The trail around the lake is about 3.5 km long and is ideal for walking, cycling and jogging. In summer, the lake hosts musical fountain and light shows. The lakeshore is the venue for the Lac des Nations music festival every August, with free performances and fireworks. The north end connects to the Magog River gorge and the old downtown streets, making it a good starting point for a mural route. Admission is free.
