Visitor's guide | COVID-19 preventive measures | Limited activities and services
Sépaq is pleased to be able to begin gradually restoring access to its territories. This way, you’ll be able to enjoy the great outdoors to the benefit of your physical and mental health. Sépaq has implemented exceptional measures to help you get back to nature in complete safety. The collaboration and sense of responsibility of visitors will be paramount.
Only a few hiking and biking trails, nautical activities with a personal watercraft, as well as some lakes for day fishing will be accessible. Sépaq has also obtained all the necessary authorizations to safely and progressively reopen its campsites, cabins, ready-to-camp units, yurts, and rustic shelters as of June 1. All other activities are suspended until further notice. The range of activities will be gradually expanded.
