The Jesuit Lake offers a backdrop of mountains with steep cliffs and boreal forest. This area is a paradise for recreational and tourist activities including resorting, hunting and fishing, mountain biking, snowmobiling, rock climbing, etc. From the church of Sainte-Thècle, the 22 km (to the northern end of the lake) takes approximately 32 minutes, bypassing the lac de la Traverse and lake Aylwin. After about ten minutes (8 km), visitors first arrive at the dam at the mouth of the lake, ie at the southern end of the lake. Then the road bypasses the Jesuit lake to reach its northern end. The car tour can continue towards Saint-Joseph-de-Mékinac or go south by Chemin Joseph Saint-Amant to Route 159, connecting Saint-Tite and Saint-Roch-de-Mékinac.
