The Rivière à la Pêche area is one of the key access and service points within La Mauricie National Park, a federally protected wilderness in central Quebec roughly 60 km north of Trois-Rivières.

The park is open year-round and accessible via two highway entrances off Highway 55. The Rivière à la Pêche Service Centre anchors this section of the park, providing water refilling stations for campers and day visitors. A campground trail of approximately 2.

3 miles loops through the surrounding landscape and is rated easy, making it suitable for a range of abilities. The broader park offers canoe-camping, hiking, cycling, and winter activities such as cross-country skiing throughout its protected boreal terrain.
