Belvédère de la Mine BC

The BC Mine ceased operations more than 25 years ago. The water from the phreatic aquifer therefore filled the well, and its turquoise color attracts people from all over the province.

This lookout is accessible for free by Rue du Lac Noir in the Black Lake sector. It offers an exceptional point of view on the pits, transformed into a turquoise blue lake, as well as on the mining installations of the BC Mine. Recall that this mine, opened in 1908, was closed permanently on November 1, 1997.

To get there: DO NOT ENTER THE MINE SITE. Meet at the Magasin Général O'Brien, at 4233 Rue du Lac-Noir, Thetford Mines, QC G6H. The belvedere is opposite, at the top of a staircase of about fifty steps.
