Eastern Townships Lakes & Gorges Weekend
A weekend getaway to the lakeside towns southeast of Montreal, featuring Mount Orford, a monastery, Coaticook, and murals
A classic countryside weekend trip for Montrealers. Start from Magog to loop around the lake, head up Mount Orford, walk the suspension bridge in Coaticook, and finally admire the murals in Sherbrooke before heading home. The pace is relaxed, with country inns and local farms easily accessible along the way. Autumn foliage is spectacular in early October. The dark sky reserve at Mont-Mégantic requires an extra two-hour detour and is excluded from this weekend itinerary.
Peak autumn foliage is around early October; book weekend inns in advance and check the cable car schedule beforehand.
