Welcome to the wild

More than a place to stay.

JT's Outdoor Adventures brings you back to basics at Lac McGillivray, near Sheenboro. What began as a private fishing lodge is now a place for families, friends and anglers to make the most of the outdoors.

Wake up beside the water. Cast from your own dock. Explore by boat, swim, hike, or spend an evening around the fire. Come for the quiet or come ready for the next big catch.

A family connection to the lake

Adventure with deep roots here.

JT's Outdoor Adventures works with Lac McGillivray Outfitters, a family-owned business run by Tom Hearty and his wife Lucie. Their family has been part of this lake for many years.

That longstanding connection is part of the welcome you'll find at Lac McGillivray.
