Our story

founded in 1994

Welcome to Moose Valley Sporting Lodge, your gateway to outdoor adventure in the heart of New Brunswick’s wilderness.

Located about 50 km (45 minutes) from the city of Edmundston, Moose Valley Sporting Lodge was founded in September 1994 by Lee Blanchette. Built on the site of a former hunting camp established by his father, Gérald Blanchette, in 1962, the lodge carries a deep legacy of tradition, outdoor passion, and family spirit. Originally a private chalet for hunting and relaxation, the area quickly gained recognition as a prime destination for hunters and nature lovers.

Starting with a licensed restaurant and a fuel service for travelers, Moose Valley steadily grew alongside its local and visiting clientele.
