Pike River

Pike River

With the Rivière aux Brochets and three smaller streams running across and around the municipality, you’ll find the town of Pike River at the southwestern tip of Brome-Missisquoi, only a few kilometres from Lake Champlain.

Once occupied by the Abenaki Nation, who fished and hunted here, the region later welcomed families from Switzerland, Belgium and Poland. Today, the municipality is home to approximately 550 residents and retains a rural character marked by agriculture and dairy farms.

Three institutional buildings dominate the heart of the village: the former school from 1923, now the Town Hall, the presbytery, and the church with its red bell tower, established in 1907. These heritage landmarks, combined with the agricultural landscape and proximity to Lake Champlain, enhance the visitors’ experience.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty of options here: boating and fishing on Lake Champlain, ice skating in winter, canoeing and kayaking on the Rivière aux Brochets. As for cyclists, they’ll discover several routes throughout the municipality taking them to nearby villages and even all the way to La Route des Vins.
