parc national de la gaspesie

We were up at the Refuge for 2 nights. Refuge is good, for $33 p/p per night...although lacking eqpt. For cooking purposes and eating, ie: pans, pots, cutlery, plates etc...There is a baggage service however, 20kg for $44 rountrip. It s a 12 km slog to get there...That said; it s still $100 per person minimum for a 2 night stay. ( we only took up 1 bag). The terrain is great, probably the best on the East of the Continent. I think, Sepaq needs to revise it s operations for the simple fact that it s expensive for what you get...it could be so much more. Being a Qc resident, paying taxes for this plus the extra charges is a little bit frustrating. Not a competitive value if compared to other options available in the area, for example Murdochville. For the same price, I can get a room, and eat 3 meals a day, not to mention get more touring in without a 12km approach. I could get a lift up there for $60 Rt. Though, which is incoherent with the baggage drop! 16$ difference...Sadly, my experience was not worth booking 7 months in advance...I don t think I will be returning to this sector for the reason that I don t like throwing money away! Part of the reason why I ski Tour...

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your recent stay with us.We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay in the park, even with the cold temperature. We hope to see you again in our mountains !

We hiked up and down the 5.7km Mont Albert trail. It took us, a group of 50's and 60's year-old relatively well fit, about 3 hours to climb up and 3 hours to climb down. The trail is well marked, with gorgeous vistas along the way. Expect steep rocky trail and bring good hiking shoes. The last 400m climb is the most strenuous but well worth the effort as we emerged out of the forest to a tundra-like landscape with magnificent views of the Chic-Choc mountains. While resting on mountain top, don't forget to seek and use the toilet… It's a toilet with a view!

This a really nice park. One of the best in Quebec. We hiked Mont Xalibu, a moderate 5 hours hike. The view at the top was really nice. If you like the outdoor it is a nice place to go.

My family and I had a really great trip to this park last week. We camped at the Lake Cascapedia campground. We had sites #11 and #12 which had direct access to the lake. We stayed in a pop up camper, but there are no hook ups. The access to the pristine lake was phenomenal. Left our kayaks right on the shore and used them tons. Saw several moose and many varieties of ducks (merganser, teal, harlequin) and a family of loons were constant companions. The campsites were wooded and very clean. My only complaint with the campground is that the bathrooms are woefully inadequate for the number of campers. It would also seem that the social norms regarding women and men having their own bathrooms is flexible up there as there were women and girls frequently in the mens bathroom doing dishes while men used the urinals...a little weird. The showers are coed, but that was ok as they had locking stalls. The floors were a little muddy. I'd bring your own tp as they ran out often. There is no potable water in the park. We climbed Mt. Jacques Cartier, a 4000er. A spectacular climb with an amazing 360 degree view of wilderness. The southern most herd of caribou live up there on the tundra and we saw several of them. I highly recommend this hike! The administration of the park is very inefficient and the fees are very expensive. In order to spend a day fly fishing you have to have a park's pass ($70), a one day provincial fishing license ($17) and a one day access permit from the park ($20). The lines are long to get these things accomplished and it is a little unclear as to what is needed and then where you can fish. Seems to me there should be an all inclusive fee that you could get online prior to arriving to make that a quicker process. Any ways, I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this trip!!

We were so happy to read your review and see that you enjoyed your stay in the park. Thank you !

Thank you for your good review.

This is not a Canada national park and this is clearly something that you feel. The organization is so so, only after your money. Other than that the park is very good if you like hiking with several options that will fit your schedule,

The Parc is a North American gem not well known south of the US-Canada border. At the higher elevations above 1000 meters one finds subarctic tundra despite the relatively low latitude. The Parc contains a herd of caribou, but on two visits I have yet to actually see one. We did a 12-kilometer circular hike over Mont Olivine as suggested by a representative at the Discovery Center and were rewarded with good views of the higher mountains along the spine of the peninsula. We encountered only a few other hikers and some spruce grouse. Part of our hike was on the International Appalachian Trail which is an extension to the St. Lawrence River of the U.S. Appalachian Trail which officially ends on Mt. Katahdin in Maine. I can heartily recommend the Parc to anyone who enjoys solitude and mountain scenery.

We hiked Mont Albert - 17 km - and on a gorgeous sunny day. On another day we hiked some of the easier trails in a light rain. This is our first time visiting the Gaspe region and we really love the peacefulness and tranquility of the area.This park is beautiful, unspoiled, uncrowded, and most of the other tourists we saw seem to be from Quebec province, a couple from the US and Ontario.

Gorgeous national park! A must see if you're in the area. We hike a 2 hour loop up to the top of a smaller mountain and encountered moose on the side of the trail. Truly worth the trip.

If you are a lover of nature this is the not to be missed national park. 30 minutes inland drive from Cap-Chap. The $6 per person fee is well worth it. Stop at the visitors center for maps and helpful advice from the bilingual, eager staff. There are many hiking trails of varying lengths and difficulty. Easy to Strenuous so ask and check your maps before starting your hike. We saw moose, wood thrush, yellow rump warblers, white throated sparrows and ceder wax wings. This is an inland park and great mountain views could be had.

We have been here a few times before, and on one memorable occasion we did the Tour de Mont Albert in 35°C temperatures. This time we did the river walk to Chute du Diable, which is infinitely easier. There are walks or hikes for all fitness abilities, and the scenery is wonderful.Take some bug spray!

Grazie. Tornare presto per ulteriori scoperte
