The park offers beautiful hiking opportunities during the fall season. We spent a beautiful day discovering gorgeous bays and lakes 👍 The 3.2km trail took us about an hour to complete, and despite the 300m elevation gain, the easy difficulty rating proved accurate. The autumn colors reflecting on Lake Matapédia were absolutely stunning throughout our hike.

Superb walking tour on Wednesday August 8th with our excellent guide Joelle. We discovered many secrets of the forest while walking along the beautiful Matapedia lake. The 3.2km trail with its 300m elevation gain was perfectly manageable for our group, and the easy difficulty level made it accessible for everyone. Thank you again for this wonderful outdoor experience in Gaspésie!
