As you arrive via the 214, you’ll ride into a quaint village. There’s a church, a railroad, and, most notably, a museum dedicated to Donald Morrison, a Canadian outlaw turned folk hero of the 19th century.
Grab a picnic table and soak in the soothing sight and sound of Rivière au Saumon. You’d be wise to stop at Charcuterie Scotstown, just a few steps away, to stock your picnic basket with a smorgasbord of local treats.
