COVID‑19: Everything you need to know

Step 1
At home

Use the virtual ticketing system

Entry fee for a national park and Annual card

IMPORTANT! To preserve the quality of the natural environment and the experience of visitors and employees, the number of visitors who can access a national park in a single day is limited. It is strongly recommended that you purchase your daily right of access online prior to a visit or buy an annual pass. This guarantees you access to the chosen national park, will ensure a smoother arrival at the site and avoid unnecessary travel when the maximum capacity is reached. It can be purchased up to 30 days before a visit.

Unfortunately, you may be denied access to a sector, a trail, or an activity if a parking lot is full or if the maximum capacity has been reached..

Beach access parking (Mont-Orford, Oka and Yamaska national parks)

A parking fee applies when the beaches are supervised. It is strongly recommended that you purchase your parking fee for beach access online in order to guarantee access to the beach. This will ensure a smoother arrival and avoid unnecessary travel when the maximum capacity is reached. The permit can be purchased up to 30 days before a visit.
