Description

Visit our mill classified as a heritage building! As a major novelty in 2021, the Moulin des Pionniers site is adding new play structures under the forest theme to its site such as water games with slides for children, giant inflatable trampolines, giant dry slides, tree-shaped games, swings, interactive games, hebertism trail, mini-golf games, rental cabins as well as kayaks, itinerant campground without service (dump station in the center of the village) and parking for the bike path that read La Doré in St-Félicien. Walking path.

Built in 1904, the entirely wooden mill measures 15 meters in length by 15 meters in width. All the machinery is found in the main part of the mill. The wood warehouse and the repair shop are located in the annexed part. Proud representative of the colonization of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, this hydraulic sawmill was in operation for more than 70 years. Come discover its history!

Visit the Moulin des Pionniers, a water-powered sawmill dating from 1889! The mill is no longer in operation today, but it is still possible to visit it and see it working thanks to a virtual tour and 360 degree videos. The famous “Félix Trottier” mechanical workshop (1894) can also be visited. They are jewels of forestry and industrial history.
