Practical Details

Location and Access

Parc national d'Anticosti is located at the heart of île d'Anticosti, an immense territory of 7,943 km² in size at the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In a straight line, the northern tip of the island is located 35 km from Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan, whereas 72 km separate the tip from the southwestern part of Gaspé Peninsula, more specifically the tip of Forillon Peninsula. The packages that are proposed include air transportation from Montréal, Québec City, Mont-Joli, Sept-îles, Gaspé or Havre-Saint-Pierre.

On île Anticosti, distances are important! The island, which is 222 km long and 54 km wide, is an immense natural territory that is crossed from west to east by route Henri-Menier, also known as "the TransAnticostienne", a dirt road to which several secondary roads are connected. A substantial distance may separate your place of accommodation from the attraction that you wish to visit, whether in or outside the park. Be sure to take this distance into account when you plan your outings. The enclosed table gives you the distances between the main attractions of the island and the park.


Operating Period

The 2008 season begins on June 28 and ends on August 23. After that date, the activities, as well as the accommodation services, are limited. If you plan to come to the park during this period, check beforehand with our reservations office.

To make tourism and culture accessible to persons with limited physical ability.
