Enjoy Nature and the outdoors

A visit to any Bas-Saint-Laurent national park will be rich in discoveries, diversity and landscapes. While seals and the marine environment will be presented to you by the sea at Parc national du Bic, the story of a truly unique forest bordered by an immense lake awaits you at Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata.
 

Discover the thrills of the Chutes Coulonge Adventure Park. Observe a multi-century-old white pine forest from a different angle while having fun on the obstacle courses, or cross over to the other side of the canyon on giant zip lines. Take a stroll along the trails and stop at the bridge to observe the 42-metre-high falls. Try your hand at Via Ferrata, an experience that's halfway between climbing and hiking, and cover a distance of 600 meters along the rock face alongside the tumultuous Coulonge River. Discover unusual accommodation by spending the night in a yurt.
 

Whether it’s by paddleboarding, canoeing, or rafting, the Jacques-Cartier River and the many other marshes and bodies of water that dot the region can be enjoyed all summer long. In early summer, when the water flow is at its strongest, rafting is definitely the most unique and fun way to experience the Rivière Jacques-Cartier. That’s why Expéditions Nouvelle-Vague and Excursions Jacques-Cartier offer safe excursions to make the most of it, and in good company!

With its exceptional aquatic fauna, Eeyou Istchee Baie-James is the destination of choice for a fishing trip that’s truly out of the ordinary. Anglers can explore the Mistassini and Albanel lakes, where walleye, northern pike, brook trout and lake trout abound. Choose a cabin or a campsite in one of the region’s outfitters or wildlife reserves and get ready for a trip marked by awe-inspiring scenery and unforgettable experiences.
