I wish they would clearly tell at the booth that parking fee is only if you intend to go the beach area. We didn't get to explore a lot. We only explored the trail called boucle des trois étangs. It's a MUST to pack water and snacks. Our group included toddlers and elderly so it took us at least 3h to complete, as we had to stop a few times. That trail can be done with a baby stroller. Glad that kids can rent back for free, but if not everyone is on bikes, the group would be separated. I was a bit disappointed that no part of that trail had a top view. Also, some cyclists are careless as they speed so much.

Lac Stukley is a wonderful place to spend the weekend with family and friends. It has everything you need for a fun and relaxing time—playgrounds for kids, water activities like canoeing, pédalo, kayaking, swimming, and, for those who don’t like to sit still for too long, hiking trails. There’s also a picnic area where you can BBQ, with clean restrooms, changing rooms, and plenty of recycling bins. The kids really enjoyed swimming in the clean, refreshing water, which wasn’t cold at all—a perfect spot for a family dip. I opted for the shortest trail, Fer de Lance, as I didn’t want to be late for my friend and the BBQ. The trail is just 3.5 km and took us approximately 1 hour to complete. The view of the lake were beautiful and peaceful. However, the trail could use better signs; we found it a bit confusing as we ended up going out one side and coming back from another, not realizing it was a loop. The only downside was the rental service for water activities. Our group of 10 arrived just 10 minutes past the final rental hour, thinking they closed at 6 PM (we were there at 4:55 PM), but we were not allowed to rent for even one hour. It was a bit disappointing, as we were really looking forward to it.

Wonderful park and beach. Area close to water gets absolutely packed on the weekends and you need to book parking pass well ahead. Annual sepaq membership does NOT allow access to parking close to the beach, you still need to pay separately. They have weird rule about no large tents or shadow sources on the beach. You cannot use canopy screen or a tent king of setup, only smaller umbrellas. Washrooms are modern and clean, changing rooms are separate as well. Very nice staff speaking French and English fluently.

nice place. we took one of short trails to the viewpoint (actually, there is not one, but a few along the path). Part of the trail u must climb rocks and trees' roots, so be aware. The second part is a nice road through the forest. Be careful - a lot of bicyclists. there is a small beach, from where people go with canoes. maybe there are more beaches, but we didn't look for it. the parking at the entrance costs about 10 cad for each adult.

Loved the hike here. We took the 4 hour hike, which was intermediate level, and finished it in 3ish. The place wasn't overly crowded but the bugs were definitely out. The service station is nice and clean. Definitely recommend 👌

Mont Orford is a magical place. I hiked le pékan which was about 3 minutes and a fairly easy intermediate level. Definitely worth visiting.

I would give this park 5 stars except for one thing. Firewood. Rule: you can't bring own. You must buy it from SEPAQ at $1000 per cord. It is too wet to burn. And you must carry it 600ft to your car. They could not have made it any worse. If SEPAQ were truly interested in preventing desease they would have been more reasonable. From now on I will bring my own firewood from home.

What a nice outdoor space. Picked a day that had few visitors. Nice walk along the lake. We should have brought lunch... Very nice outing. Nice folks at the entrance. Will go there again soon.

Facilities are great. Staff are very helpful. A great lake for paddleboarding, canoeing, swimming or hiking.

Well marked trails, very beautiful, some trails are mixed use so you will see cyclist. If you are a cyclist, a great destination for you as well!
