Parc national d'Oka

Accessible and rewarding activities

An 11 km-long natural sandy shore, a lifeguard on duty, at the beach. You can also sail on the lake with your family on a kayak or pedal boat. You and your older children can test your balance on a stand up paddle board. Play modules, outdoor ping-pong tables and picnic tables can be found on the beach at all times, while a climbing wall, board games, and foosball and ping pong tables are available in the community hall.

Come and let loose by discovering Aquazilla, an inflatable water course installed right near the beach. An activity that will delight the whole family!

The park also offers a number of easy- and intermediate-level hiking trails, including L’Érablière and La Sauvagine trails, accessible to big-wheel strollers. From the beach to La Grande-Baie Registration Centre, by way of Lac de la Sauvagine, our biking trail enables families to discover the calmer areas of the park. You and your teenagers can also try fat bikes on the park’s sandy shores.

Talks, activities with a focus on animals, nature and history– a wide range of discovery activities are available for the youngsters. And in case of bad weather, some of them take place indoors. National parks abound with wildlife: great blue herons, beavers, wood ducks, and so much more. Take advantage of your visit to do some wildlife watching!
