Fantastic place with a lots of activities to do even in winter. Awesome rangers, Line and Natalie helps us navigating the park and creating a memorable experience. Highly recommended, not far from Montreal, you can visit Quebec City on your way and make your trip even better.

Cats are not allowed in this park (and all Sepaq parks) but dogs are. Don’t see the logic there as dogs are far more disruptive. Any cat owner knows cats are quiet and harmless. I understand if parks don’t want pets, but the choice to discriminate between cats and dogs is the problem. In any case, pets must be kept on leashes. be prepared to be sent home if you bring a cat camping. As a person who does not speak French, it is very difficult to find these rules online. We arrived to this park on the assumption that pets were permitted subject to restrictions based on what I had read online.

One of the most beautiful parks I've been to on the east side of Canada. West coast vibes that felt like home. Personally I found how to enter the camping area a bit confusing (no signs near front clarifying check-in/at least not in english). But got things sorted and Arthur was very nice and helpful. Incredible trails and views. Will definitely come back and hopeful to explore some of their winter offerings this year as well! Recommend downloading the map to help navigate trails as there is no service. Trails are well marked and well maintained.

Beautiful! This park has so much to offer. We decided to go to this parm during our stay in Quebec City because we were looking for something off the beaten path and a little further than Jacques Cartier. One of the standout features of this park is that they offer a one-hour guided boat tour, which we thoroughly enjoyed!

Absolutely phenomenal location! The hiking was incredible, and the Acropoles des Draveurs was the crown jewel of the trails in the park that we hiked. You won't find much like it in the east. It's well worth the trip! The campground was clean and the sites were amply private The shuttle system was an excellent way to travel through the park, especially with a roof top tent. The visitor centers were clean, well stocked, and staffed with friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful people. We had no problem navigating the park as English speaking visitors. We paddled the Malbaie River to the furthest campground and hiked into the falls--simply breathtaking!! I can't recommend this place enough!

Beautiful and breathtaking! Too many things to explore. Scenic hikes, mountains, waterfalls and rivers. You might get a small camp site if booking for 2-3 people. But amazing camping spots. Neat, clean and well maintained washrooms. Will definitely camp here again!

We kayaked the river from the launch point at the dam to the end. The strong headwind as we headed upstream was a challenge, but it was intermittent so made decent progress. We also hiked the river trail, which had numerous beautiful views. The campsite for our campervan was level and had a nice table and firepit. The sanitary facilities were very good as well. The shuttle bus system was timely and convenient.

Came to do the hike, ended up renting canoes because the weather didn't look too good (would have blocked the view at the top anyways). Canoeing was mega-fun with all the mountains around you. Views were amazing!! The rentals are also reasonably priced and can be split among two or three people. There are also little picnic areas along the river that you can stop at to have lunch or a snack.

What an amazing place! We did canoe camping - you can rent a boat that you row from the visitor center to the campgrounds 8 km upstream - no phone, no internet, no worries! We saw beavers, moose, a porcupine and many birds. Beautiful spot.
