Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier - Sépaq
Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier - Sépaq
This park, considered a natural historical monument, is in one of Québec's most beautiful glacial valleys. It has a surface area of 670 sq. km (67 000 sq. acres) and is criss-crossed by over 100 km (62.1 miles) of hiking trails. A popular boating river runs right through it. Located 30 minutes from Old Québec, the park is one of the region's major attractions.
In the summer, you can go for a hike or learn more about local flora and fauna by participating in different activities with park naturalists serving as tour guides. You can go fishing, mountain bike across the valley, or canoe or kayak down the river. Unwind in this peaceful natural setting. The enchanting décor, multiple trails through the woods and range of accommodation options make the park a wonderful vacation destination.
In the winter, there are so many ways to have fun outdoors in the valley. Kilometre upon kilometre of trails are waiting to be explored while snowshoeing, hiking, Nordic skiing, backcountry Hok skiing, wilderness skiing or kicksledding. Take a fatbike out on the snow, squeal with glee like a child as you race down the hill on a sled or do a figure eight while skating. In the evening, you can go warm up in your cottage or yurt so you can be ready to play in the snow the next day.
