Trail description
{
"trail_type_correction": "The sources show conflicting trail types: some sources describe it as a 7.4 km loop/linear trail with 150m gain, while AllTrails lists it as 13.5 km out-and-back with 399m gain. The current text incorrectly states 'loop hike' — source 5 describes it as 'linear trail' and source 4 indicates bidirectional use. Correction needed: Remove 'loop hike' reference and clarify: 'This is a linear trail that follows the Rivière du Gouffre through marshes, meadows, and forest terrain. It can be hiked as a shorter 7.4 km route or extended as a longer out-and-back journey.'",
"dog_policy_correction": "Remove or revise the FAQ entry about dogs. Official Tourisme Charlevoix source explicitly welcomes 'furry friends' on this trail, contradicting the current 'No dogs permitted' statement."
