Magog Attractions

The industrial town of Magog, also known as the "Jewel of Estrie", was founded by Loyalists in 1799. Because of its charming position on the north bank of Lac Memphremagog is popular with tourists. The green sheen of Lac Memphremagog, 52 km (32 mi.) long and 3-6 km (2-4 mi.) wide, a fifth of which forms part of the U.S. state of Vermont, is an ideal spot for quiet boat trips in summer.
