This trail remains a well-kept Charlevoix secret! This 4 km linear trail offers a unique glimpse of the river and Isle-aux-Coudres and winds along the Rivière des Boudreault. Its many environments and facilities will delight walkers of all ages: arched bridges, multiple lookouts, a dam, a waterfall, picnic areas and spectacular vantage points.

Caution! The Sentier de la Forêt marine is not completely toddler-friendly however, as some sections feature steep inclines. Younger visitors will particularly enjoy the portion of the trail between the Musée maritime de Charlevoix and the dam, which is only a 2.5 km round trip and is categorized as fairly easy.

A visit to the Musée maritime de Charlevoix is a must!

Starting from the parking lot of the museum itself, combining the two activities is a great idea. A great value for families, it offers an aerial obstacle course and a plant maze, as well as ships and schooners to visit along the river.
