New Images from our Latest visit to the Nature Reserve.
Réserve naturelle Quilliams-Durrell is a wildlife refuge in Lac-Brome, Quebec.
This wildlife refuge is part of a larger effort by concerned citizens of the Lac Brome region to preserve the wetlands and forested areas around the Lake Brome.
The Brome Lake Land Foundation’s intal purchase of 500 acres of wetlands and woodlands in 1987 started it all.
An very informative article written by author Frank Nixon appears on the http://100objects.qahn.org/ website.
We were in search of a location to take a short vacation and after a little research. We decided on the the Lac Brome area.
More specifically the Hotel Suites Lac Brome. Their location provides direct access to the wildlife refuge by kayak and they can be rented at the hotel.
You can also rent paddle boards at the private beach located across the street from the hotel.
Our early morning kayak trip in the Quilliams-Durrell wildlife refuge was picture perfect.
The waterway snakes its way through the nature reserve in long slow curves each turn revealing the flora and fauna of the area. The experience was relaxing and extremely enjoyable, I highly recommend it.
This is our second trip to the lake Brome area this summer and once again we are staying at Hôtel Suites Lac-Brome.
This trip we discovered the walking trail that starts in the Town of Knowlton and runs all the way to the autoroute 10. Along the the trail you pass through the Quilliams-Durrell Nature Reserve and we couldn’t resist getting back in the kayaks. Here are some of the images taken on our trip.
