There are many tourist attractions and routes in the region, including the Route bleue, the Route des Navigateurs and the Saint-François tour.
Route verte number 4 also passes through Saint-François-du-Lac. You can also stop off at one of the municipality's many parks and rest areas. You can even try your hand at crossing the Saint-François River, with the pontoon boat on the river departing from the Mr. B Marina on Île Saint-Jean. The municipal wharf, with its sun shelter park and picnic areas, also offers a peaceful spot to recharge your batteries, with a breathtaking view of the Saint-François River.
The municipality is working to strengthen and improve the quality of active travel in the area. In 2023, the creation of a circuit to promote sustainable mobility in the heart of the urban core began, with the installation of several benches in different locations to encourage walking along the route. In 2024, a new outdoor discovery trail was created to promote a sense of safety and enhance the experience of walkers on their way to or through the Community Center. In 2025, self-service electric bike rental, in collaboration with the MRC, will be introduced for the summer period.
Most leisure services converge at the Community Centre. There are facilities and activities for all ages and tastes. The new outdoor stage is located here, as are the premises of La maison des jeunes, Club de l'âge d'or and Loisirs de Saint-François-du-Lac.
Many infrastructures available in summer: soccer fields, volleyball court, play modules, water games, a large sandbox, petanque court and deck-hockey surface. Several roofed picnic areas. There are also universally accessible toilets and a drinking water point.
In winter, a skating rink and ice ring are available.
