Our story

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.
Go after the fish, settle into cabin life, or head into the woods. You decide how far off the grid you want to go.
