Crown Land Near Drummondville
Drummondville sits on the Rivière Saint-François in the flat farm country of Centre-du-Québec, so true public land means a drive: the nearest is Parc national de la Yamaska, about 51 km south, followed by Parc national du Mont-Orford at 62 km and Parc régional du Mont-Ham at 69 km — the zecs and pourvoiries of Lanaudière and Mauricie start past the 100 km mark. What the city lacks in nearby backcountry it makes up in water and camping: the Saint-François is fishable right in town, and Camping des Voltigeurs, a Sépaq campground, is under 3 km from downtown.
