Trail description
The park covers 370 acres, according to the map published by the towns of Saint-Amable and Sainte-Julie.
The trails
The Town of Saint-Amable's summer trail map shows five trails:
- Le Bouleau: 3 km
- L'Érable: 2.4 km
- Le Boisé: 2.5 km
- La Boucle: 3 km
- L'Express: 0.7 km
The map marks each of these trails with the hiking and cycling pictograms. It also locates a lookout, the dog park, a pétanque court, picnic tables and baseball and soccer fields.
Winter
According to the Town, the Le Boisé (2.5 km) and La Boucle (3 km) trails are set up for walking and snowshoeing, and the Le Bouleau (3 km) and L'Érable (2.4 km) trails for cross-country skiing.
Chalet, services and equipment
The chalet has toilets, and a chemical toilet is added in summer. Its hours change with the season (see the schedule). The Town lends equipment free of charge at the chalet during its opening hours, with photo ID; the loan is for use on site only. Box-Up lockers, linked to a mobile app, give free and open access to various sports equipment. Outdoor barbecues are allowed under certain conditions.
Dogs
The map published by the towns of Saint-Amable and Sainte-Julie shows that dogs on a leash are permitted at Parc Le Rocher and that dog waste must be picked up. The Town of Saint-Amable sets the leash at 1.85 m at most and asks for a head halter or harness for dogs of 20 kg or more. A dog park, open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., is about 500 m from the main entrance, on rue Thomas; it has an area for small dogs.
Access and parking
The park can be entered from three points, each with its own parking: 215 rue Thomas (main parking), the gravel road off rue Auger (secondary parking) and the secondary entrance on rue Thomas (dog park parking).
