At Saint-Simon-de-Rimouski on the 132: turn at the 'Petro Canada' gas station in direction of Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux. Turn right at the end of the road on the '3eme rang' and then left on 'Chemin du lac Sud' (half a kilometer, at the barn on the left side of the road, right on the corner!). Just follow that road until you reach the KOA Campground.

The Pointe-au-Père Maritime Historic Site offers the unique opportunity for visitors to enjoy three attractions in one place in Rimouski, Quebec, Canada. Take a look at the Pointe-au-Père Maritime Historic Site by experiencing the Onondaga Submarine, the Empress of Ireland and the Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse.
Start your Pointe-au-Père Maritime Historic Site journey by traveling back in time on the famous Onondaga Submarine. Climb aboard a 90-metre (300-foot) submarine and experience the day-to-day life of over 60 mariners who called the undersea vessel home for months.
The Onondaga is the first submarine open to the public in Canada, which makes the English or French audio tour of the vessel, its engine room, sonar and torpedo rooms and engine rooms even more exceptional.
Other notable interactions at Onondaga Submarine include:
Immerse yourself in Canada's worst maritime disaster with the Empress of Ireland: The Story Continues exhibition. Travel back in time, starting with the shipwreck, then its historic and tragic sinking in 1914 and its construction in 1906. The reverse chronological experience allows you to view more than 200 real-life artefacts of the wreckage, historical photos and video accounts.
Discover over a century's history at this iconic lighthouse — one of the highest in Canada. In 1909, the lighthouse was established, and its prism still stands. Learn many interesting facts about the structure at its foot during a guided tour and view the Beacons Burning Bright exhibition, which displays models of St. Lawrence's lighthouses. Explore the foghorn shed to find out about the horn sounds that helped mariners safely navigate their way home.
