It is easy to see why Charlevoix’s national parks appeal to outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife lovers year-round.

Rock climbing, via ferrata, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, fat biking, skating, snowshoeing, Nordic skiing and cross-country skiing are just some of the ways to enjoy these impressive Quebec national parks. The Sépaq’s discovery program offers another perspective on the parks and the natural features that make them so distinctive. Experienced park wardens share their knowledge of local plant and animal life during guided outings. An evening talk, an introduction to mushroom foraging, a twilight rabaska excursion or a sightseeing cruise beneath the mountains can reveal the history and geography of these landscapes in memorable ways.

Visitors who want more time to take it all in can stay overnight in either park. Accommodation options include serviced and unserviced campsites, ready-to-camp sites and several styles of cabins. Visit the Sépaq page for the park of your choice to learn more and reserve online.
