Hiking is definitely the best way to discover Parc national du Mont-Orford. It's the perfect way to get access to numerous viewpoints, which are said to be among the most spectacular of the Eastern Townships region. In the fall, the forest presents a show featuring the flamboyant colours of the sugar maples. The park is notably home to white-tailed deer and Great Blue Heron, which you can observe in their natural habitat. There is also a large variety of amphibian and reptile species. Beside two beaches, vacationers have a wide range of fun-filled activities to choose from. Come fall, colourful sugar maples treat hikers to a blazing show. Come winter, the park is a destination of choice for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing fans.

Please note that only cross-country skiing trails and L'Étang-Fer-de-Lance trail are accessible for hiking.
Like every spring, the trails are closed during the thaw period. This annual closure is intended to protect the fragile environments through our snowshoeing trails and to ensure that our hiking trails have a good support capacity. So, we avoid a significant deterioration of the natural environment and/or the walking surfaces.
The spring reopening of the trails is gradual, depending on the level of drainage and the drying of the walking surface in question. Please note that there is no pre-established reopening date.
Reminder: Dogs are not allowed until May 1.
