National Parks

Dogs are now allowed in all Québec national parks, except in the Anticosti and Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé national parks. However, dogs will only be authorized in certain places.

For hikers

There is nothing better than a walk in the forest to fill up on fresh air. An outdoor outing also brings its share of benefits to your pet. Your dog can now accompany you on certain identified trails in Quebec's national parks. The availability of trails accessible to four-legged canine friends varies according to each establishment. Before you go on a hike, don't hesitate to consult the list of places where your dog is accepted so that you can plan your outing in the wild accordingly. Little reminder: your dog must be kept on a leash at all times.

For campers

Don't miss the opportunity to spend a night under the stars with your pet! Several well-identified camping loops in some national parks can accommodate you and your pet. Before booking your overnight campsite in Quebec's most beautiful world of nature, take a look at the areas where your dog is accepted. Also, remember that your dog must spend the night in your camping vehicle or installation (tent, trailer, RV, van , cooking shelter, etc.) with the person in charge, as the dog must be under constant supervision.

Taking a nature break

Whether it's for a simple contact with nature, a picnic, or a stop by a lake, the national parks offer you a few targeted places where your dog will also be welcome. Several picnic areas and some watercraft launching sectors are accessible for you and your dog. Again, to avoid any surprises when you arrive in a national park, check out the list of places where dogs are allowed.

Wildlife reserves

Wildlife reserves are great places to go on an outing with your dog. Your pet is welcome at all our reserves. You and your animal can even camp together at several of these establishments. It's also a great opportunity to catch some fish on a fishing-camping trip while your dog can follow you in the boat.

However, dogs are allowed only in designated spaces and under certain conditions. Consult the list of authorized places for each wildlife reserve.

Lac de la Ferme is also canine accessible, as is one side of the picnic area by the stream.
