The municipality is characterized by hilly forests with a great number of lakes, rivers, and creeks. Because of those nature gems, many cottages are owned and built in the area. The eastern portion of its territory is part of the Papineau-Labelle Wildlife Reserve. Consequently, the local economy is dependent on forestry as well as on the influx of tourists, fishermen and hunters.[4]
