General presentation
Parc national de la Mauricie
Forests, lakes and viewpoints accessible by a panoramic road in the heart of the Canadian shield.
The discovery of the Mauricie National Park is structured around the Mauricie National Park, Wapizagonke Lake and Waber Falls. The stay thus alternates between forests, shores and lakes, riverscapes and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Parc national de la Mauricie
The Mauricie National Park offers immersion in the Canadian Shield, between dark lakes, rocky caps and tight forests. The panoramic road, trails and waterfronts make it possible to compose very different days, from short stop to gazebo to canoe excursion.
Lake
Lac Wapizagonke
Lake Wapizagonke stretches its arms between the wooded hills of the Mauricie National Park. Its shores give access to beaches, canoe departures and superb views, with a wilder atmosphere as soon as one moves away from the developed areas.
Waterfall
Chutes Waber
The Waber Falls are won at the price of a real exit, combining paddling on Wapizagonke Lake and walking in the forest. The arrival rewards the effort by clear waterfalls, polished rocks and basins where the noise of the water quickly replaces that of the boats.
Viewpoint
Belvédère du Passage
The Passage lookout offers one of the most telling views of the Mauricie National Park. From the platform, lakes and hills overlap in successive plans, giving a very visual reading of the landscape without a long hike.
