An outfitter is a small or medium-sized business located in a natural setting that specializes in hunting, fishing, and vacationing, offering a range of accommodations to suit all tastes. There are 566 outfitters spread across Quebec’s 17 tourist regions, more than 330 of which are members of the Quebec Outfitters Federation.  

Outfitters offer a wide range of services well beyond hunting and fishing. Although there are some twenty species to hunt and no fewer than 18 fishing species to tease, a multitude of complementary activities are also available. In summer and winter alike, outfitters offer a veritable playground! You’ll find traditional activities such as kayaking, pedal boating, paddleboarding, and hiking, as well as floating play structures for young and old alike! The more adventurous can also discover Quebec’s wildlife by observing black bears or taking a workshop on forest mushrooms, for example. In addition, once the land gets its white blanket, nearly a hundred outfitters invite you to explore the trails by snowmobile, snowshoe, and even dog sled. Outfitters are all that and more!

Visiting an outfitter is to encounter a human business run by a family whose enterprise has been handed down from generation to generation, a couple eager to take on a new challenge, or passionate entrepreneurs.
