Discover Beaumont’s activities

There are also climbing facilities and a place for family history research. If you’re looking for a vacation rental in Beaumont, these varied interests can help you decide what kind of stay you want. Would you like to spend time on trails, focus on a particular sport, or include a cultural activity in your plans? The options offer different starting points for planning your trip.

Trails, parkland, and fishing

Beaumont’s extensive trail system includes more than 33 kilometres of paved trails. If you enjoy walking, you can make these trails a focus of your trip. The paved surface is a specific feature of the trail system. This focus on trails differs from activities associated with particular sports facilities, a lake, or the winter season.

Beaumont has 84.5 hectares of parkland available year-round. This means these areas are not limited to just one season. There is also a specific place for fishing: Don Sparrow Lake is located in Four Seasons Park and is stocked with trout in summer. If fishing is one of your vacation interests, this lake is a specific Beaumont attraction. Its summer trout stocking sets this activity apart from the options at Parc Quatre Saisons, also known as Four Seasons Park.

Snow and ice sports

Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are available at Parc Quatre Saisons. This gives you a choice of two different ways to enjoy winter activity in the park. You can decide whether you’d rather head out on snowshoes or include cross-country skiing in your trip. Both activities are specifically associated with this park; they offer a different focus from summer fishing at Don Sparrow Lake.

Beaumont also has several specific facilities for ice sports. The Ken Nichol Regional Recreation Centre has two regulation-size hockey rinks. They are used seasonally, from September to March. Beaumont also has eight outdoor ice rinks, including concrete and grass rinks. These figures differ in both number and type: the Centre has two regulation-size hockey rinks, while the outdoor facilities comprise eight ice rinks. The September-to-March seasonal use applies to the hockey rinks.

Climbing and family history

The Arch Climbing Centre at the Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre has a climbing wall and a bouldering area. This gives travellers interested in climbing two specific areas to explore. They add a distinct climbing focus to the options for trails and ice sports, without requiring a particular route or another location.

The St. Jacques Heritage House Museum in Beaumont offers a different perspective. It has an accessible room for family history research. If you’d also like to explore your family history while travelling, this research room offers a distinct cultural connection. In Beaumont, sporting interests and the opportunity to research family history are side by side. When choosing a vacation rental, you can consider the mix of activities you want for your trip and think about which of these pursuits matter most during your stay.
