Parc national de Frontenac
Accessible and rewarding activities
Surf, paddle or do a bit of fishing in one of the bays of Grand Lac Saint-François. No matter your age, you canoe, kayak or a pedal boat or test your balance on a stand up paddle board. Back on dry land, a number of easy- and intermediate-level hiking trails are on offer, including La Tourbière trail in the Saint-Daniel sector and stroller-accessible L’Érablière and Les Passereaux trails in the South sector. You and your family can also go for a little spin on the biking trails.
The youngsters can enjoy a wide range of discovery activities including guided watercraft activities and activities with a focus on animals. In case of bad weather, a number of activities will be held in a shelter. As soon as you arrive, your kids will receive a Young Park Warden passport inviting them to participate in discovery activities designed just for them, and making them eligible for a contest. The park abounds with wildlife, including white-tailed deer and bald eagle, not to mention great blue heron. Take advantage of your visit to do some wildlife watching! Two observation towers have in fact been erected on La Tourbière trail (Saint-Daniel sector).
