Our story

It all starts with the urge to get outside.

Like many hikers, we were looking for reliable information about trails in Quebec and Canada. We wanted honest stories, practical advice and beautiful photos to help us choose our adventures.

Not finding the complete resource we wished we had ourselves, we decided to create it. LET’S GO PLAY OUTSIDE was born from a simple desire: to bring together in one place everything it takes to make you want to get out and explore, with confidence.

The right info. The urge to go.

Our mission and values

The outdoors starts with a first step.

We believe in the power of hiking to do us good, to connect us with nature and with what really matters. Through reliable information, inspiring stories and practical tools, we want to make the outdoors more accessible to everyone.

A word from the founder

François Dumaine

Hiker, photographer and founder

Nature has always been my playground and a source of balance.
Through LET’S GO PLAY OUTSIDE, I share my experiences, my discoveries and my passion for hiking, in the hope of inspiring more people to get outside in turn.

My goal is simple: to help you find the best information to choose your next adventure and live unforgettable moments outdoors.

As long as you’re breathing,
you can always move forward.
