The Gatineau Fish & Game Club sits atop a high ridge between 31 Mile Lake and Lac Pemichangan in the picturesque Gatineau Hills. After a short 1.5-hour drive north from Ottawa, you will arrive at a magical place that captivates your senses with its natural beauty and timeless charm.
Maybe it’s the history
The Club was founded in 1894 by Canadian and American sportsmen, enthusiastic fishermen and hunters who loved the wilderness and had the vision and determination to protect it. The Club House itself was built by members of the local community, skilled craftsmen who created a wonderful building in a majestic setting, with clear views down two lakes. Now, five generations later, members and their families and friends, many of them descendants of those first sportsmen and craftsmen, meet at that same lodge to enjoy the same views, dine together, and more likely than not, tell some of the same old stories.
Maybe it’s the sense of community
For generations the Club has provided a special haven to our members, their extended families and their friends. We have members from 31 Mile Lake, Lac Pemichangan, Lac Heney, and Lac Edja. We come for dinners and social events and for the relationships between us that grow stronger each summer. Our Kids’ Camp offers our children a chance to build friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
Above all, it’s our lakes and forests
GF&GC members understand just how precious our lakes and forests are and do what they can to preserve the natural beauty around them. Care of the environment remains a critically important concern and focus of all our members. They are determined to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the health of the water, the flora, and the fauna. The GF&GC endeavours to work with lake associations, and with municipal and provincial bodies, to monitor and improve the health of our environment, and to minimize our impact on it.
