La Pêche River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The La Pêche River is a river in western Quebec which flows from La Pêche Lake (Lac La Pêche) in Gatineau Park and empties into the Gatineau River at Wakefield.

A grain mill was built in 1838 on the river at MacLaren Falls near Wakefield and is now operated as an inn. A textile mill and a sawmill at the same location helped to provide the impetus for the development of a settlement at Wakefield.
