Parc national de l'Ile-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Perce

Parc national de l'Ile-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Perce stands out with its rich natural, historic, and geological heritage. Sculpted by time and the sea, at the Gaspe Peninsula's tip, it has the fortress of Bonaventure Island and the magnificent stone vessel of Perce Rock-Quebec's tourism emblem. Its outstanding flora and fauna, including its famous colony of Northern Gannets make it a must-see for visitors, as do the island's old homes-the last witnesses to the way the islanders lived a century ago.

The national park does a wonderful job of protecting the enormous gannet colony on Bonaventure Island, while providing excellent viewing for bird-watching. Access to the island is by boat, and the ride can be rough. The bird colony is located across the island from the boat dock/visitor's center, about a 45 minute hike over the summit, or a 90 minute hike (easier terrain) at the perimeter. Bathrooms are plentiful. Bring your rain jacket, water, and a camera!

Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve

A fabulous morning excursion by fast boat brought us to this, for me unknown, beautiful island. Excellent guide of Parks Canada explained the formation of the spectacular monoliths. Still cold and snowy when we went but well worth the trip!

My partner and i stayed in one of the campings for 2 nights. Loved the national park, hiking and the peace in there. Camping sites are big and separate enough between each other for a little privacy. We will come back for sure.

Parc National du Bic

Reviewed By 412celiap - Montreal, Canada

If you love moody vibes and beautiful scenery, this park is for you. So many hikes to chose from, easy to difficult, low trails or high trails. My family and & I hiked the Cap a l’original and it was wonderful. You do need to pay attention to the low and high tides as this trails is on the shore of the beach most of the time and then you climb up a huge rock at some point towards the end. To know when you can start the trail due to the low or high tide, either check the website as stated on the park’s website or ask the staff. From my understanding, the tide is lower in the early morning hours and once in the afternoon. Need good shoes and water. Enjoy:)

We loved hiking and driving through La Mauricie. It's so beautiful. On the drive you have perfect views on the many lakes and forests from lookouts. We loved the Solitaire lake trail and les Cascades trail.
