La butte du bonhomme Blanchet (lookout)
Half a mile of hiking trails lead to a lookout called La butte du bonhomme Blanchet. This scenic point looks directly unto to the Border Route. To reach the lookout, find the chalet and parking lot of the Chevaliers des Frontières motorcycle club (on the road leading to Saint-Elzéar). Unique 240° panoramic view with Maine in the background. An activity table pointing to the different natural highlights to help visitors explore every aspect of the panorama.  

Around Pohénégamook Lake
Visitors can join this 15.5 miles trail from various locations: Frontière Park, Pohénégamook Outdoor Recreation and Health Spa or Pohénégamook Beach. Part of the circuit (4.5 miles) is on the Route des Frontières and crosses the communities of Saint-Éleuthère and Estcourt. We recommend two spectacular lookouts: one at the foot of the lake, near the Ponik sculpture, and the other in Frontière Park where you’ll read about the monster supposedly living in the lake. After the Pohénégamook Health Spa, the circuit turns into gravel and is surrounded by nature. The path then leads to the mouth of the lake and the beach. Beat summer heat by cooling off in the Pohénégamook Lake and then relax on the beach. 

The Bootlegger Path
This path is a 2.8 miles-long loop: 1 mile of forest road and 1.8 miles along Long Lake where you can have access to the peninsula. You’ll see many different animals and birds in this mostly wild area. Highlights: a panoramic view of the lake, the islands, a beaver hut and a Bald eagle’s nest. Listen to...silence, save for the occasional and unusual sound of the train whistling on the other side of the lake. Walking access at the foot of Long Lake (at the end of Chemin Brissette). Canoes and kayaks can also reach the path from the lake. Winter access to the islands by snowshoes
