Welcome! It is in a natural and
enchanting setting where the Parc de la Gorge welcomes you. Located in the
heart of Coaticook, the park is one of the most widely known tourist
attractions in the region. The formation of
the gorge is a phenomenon that took place over a long period of time. The
last ice age dates back to about 50,000 years ago. Today, the 615 acres of land belonging to the park
offer a variety of activities during both the summer and winter seasons.
Our unique hiking trails and our 158 camping lots in the forest remain our
better known and most popular summer activities. The horseback riding
centre, the 17 kilometres of mountain bike trails, the mini farm, the
observation towers, the bird watching stations, the floral garden, and many
other events, are attracting thousands of visitors every year, As for
activities during the winter, snow tubing and snowshoe trails are among
the most popular. A number of other seasonal activities are
offered year
after year. Having fun is an all-time guarantee for each and
every visit!
