Big variety of activities in jaw dropping scenery that can be dampened at times by too many people on narrow paths and small viewing areas. A gem of a National park, just be strategic to avoid letting your experience be ruined by the many loud or inconsiderate hikers and crowded spaces.

What a beautiful place. Truly, nature has blessed Quebec in general, but this park is surreal. Great options for hiking, skiing, biking etc. We came when the temperature was around -15, and will definitely make another round in summers/falls when it apparently is equally mind-blowing!! The staff is equally courteous. Hats off to them as well.

Great place! Puts the campgrounds in Ontario to shame. Beautiful hikes, nice visitor center, clean. And only a half hour or so away from Quebec City! What a gem. Will definitely be back. I camped there for three nights in October

Visited the park over the mid October weekend to observe some fall foliage and enjoy nature. The park gets quite busy so make sure to purchase your tickets online for ~$10 per adult. There are other purchase options. Admittedly, Parks Canada manages parks better than Sepaq. Roads are not maintained as well, narrow roads, signage not so clear etc. The people that work at the park make up for this, as they are friendly and helpful! Highly recommend the Les Cascades trail! Peaceful, relatively easy hike with some nice spots to enjoy fall foliage.

I hiked at this spot and found it to be a refreshing escape from the city. The breathtaking views along the trail make it worth every step, and there are plenty of viewpoints to stop and take in the scenery. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just looking for a pleasant outing, this hike is definitely worth it!

Absolutely a must visit place in Quebec City. It is just 45 minutes away from the City. The place is just heavenly. The landscapes are photo perfect and the hikes are incredible. The park ranger staff is very friendly too.

Loved the park. Beautiful trails to hike from beginner to advanced hikers. Make sure to book entrance tickets in advance as the park is always busy

It was a beautiful park with an amazing view!! A great experience until it started raining and hailing on the hike back to the parking lot. Thanks for the "it's not going to rain today" Google.

Visited in October 2019. Autumn foliage was beautiful. Definitely worth visiting if you are staying / passing through Quebec City.

The park is very beautiful, however there is no space to enjoy this beauty. There is no beach. There is a little bit of space near a playground, but there is almost no shade in there. Also, since it's a river, the water is pretty cold. Wouldn't recommend this place for parents with toddlers, but for kayakers it's good.
