I went to Baie-des-Sables on a cloudy day and found the trail a bit muddy. While the scenery was great, some sections could be tricky due to the wet ground. It’s a nice trail, but I recommend going after a few dry days for a better experience.

I visited Station touristique Baie-des-Sables last weekend with my family. The trail was perfect for our kids, and we enjoyed spotting various birds. The gentle elevation made it easy for them to hike, and the atmosphere was peaceful. However, I wish there were more picnic spots along the way!
