It would seem that love is in the air — and on the shores — at l’Étang Baker in Quebec, about 125 km outside of Montreal.

The now-famous heart-shaped lake in East Bolton (near Mont Gauvin) first took Instagram by storm back in 2018. Since then, its popularity as a wonderful hidden gem to explore has grown.

If you’ve got a drone handy and a few hours, it might just be a couple’s perfect day trip this summer.

The naturally-formed lake is accessible by foot and there are nearby cliffs and hills to get a good vantage point of the lake, if you don’t have a drone handy.
