Discover the National Park
Mont-Tremblant National Park is a vast territory comprising hills, mountains, lakes, rivers, and streams. It is popular with hikers, mountain bikers, skiers, and many other types of outdoor sports enthusiasts. The Laurentian Mountains are ideal for hikers, but canoeing fans are attracted to the park’s 400 streams and lakes, and its six rivers, all of which are perfect for exploring.
The park is open throughout the year, but canoeing is best in the summer months. There are over 1,500 square kilometers to explore, and this is Quebec’s second-largest national park. There are also many animals and birds to spot, and traveling by canoe is one of the best ways to see them.
