Parc national de Plaisance

Accessible and rewarding activities

The park offers a number of easy-level hiking trails, including big-wheel stroller accessible Zizanie-des-Marais. By bike, you can explore the Outaouais trail with the entire family. You can also drift along at the rhythm of the river on board a canoe, kayak or rowboat. And you can do some fishing too! Close to the La Carapace Visitors Centre, a new "Place de la famille" will open in summer 2025. Water games, a relaxation area and children's play modules will be available for young and old alike. 

Events, activities with a focus on animals, guided aquatic outings–all sorts of discovery activities are available for the youngsters. The national park abounds with wildlife: geese, beavers, turtles, and so much more. Take advantage of your visit to do some wildlife watching!

Accommodations that the whole family can really enjoy

The camping area is located near the playgrounds and the La Carapace Visitors Centre. This is also where you can experience the comfort of a ready-to-camp tent. Maison Blais (which can accommodate eight people) and the yurts are located a little further on.
