A riverside outfitter in Bowman, Quebec, about 75 minutes from Ottawa, offering chalets, boat rentals, stocked trout fishing and guided bear and turkey hunts, with hosts guests call very accommodating.
Pourvoirie de la Lièvre is an outfitter on the Lièvre River in Bowman, about an hour and a quarter from Ottawa. Reviewers describe clean, comfortable chalets with river views, some newly built, and a larger main chalet with a full kitchen and bar that slept a group of eight.
The hosts are the reason people return. Guests describe the owner and staff as quick to answer questions, and one couple were upgraded and arrived to a fire already lit, with firewood included. A guide set up fishing gear and shared his catch with one pair of visitors, and another helped ice anglers find fish.
Fishing includes a stocked lake for rainbow trout, including through the ice in winter, and boats can be rented to cruise or fish the river, even as a day trip without a chalet. Hunters come for bear and turkey and describe the team as knowledgeable. Dogs are welcome if well behaved, and the Forêt Bowman trail is nearby for walks.
The reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Practical notes from guests: the main chalet has no air conditioning, so ask for fans in summer, and at least one guest recommends bringing your own towels.
