Walking Amédée River and Île du Colon

Visorando Member
Rivière Amédée et Île du Colon
↔5.59 km ↗+52 m ↘-51 m ◔1h 45 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Canada
Set off to explore the confluence of the Amédée River and the St. Lawrence River. The Amédée River ends with some interesting rapids and joins the St. Lawrence River in an impressive curved descent. The trail will then take you to Île du Colon. A porcupine was encountered on the trail: don't worry, this somewhat clumsy animal is not dangerous and will run away from you.For the less adventurous, turn back and take the trail in the opposite direction. For the more adventurous, take the path on the right that leads into the forest. This is the route we recommend. Keep your eyes peeled, as the trail is not well-trodden and you will need to follow the small markers on the trees.

⚑Departure from Canada
More of a stroll than a hike, this short trail is particularly entertaining for children. A place to discover birdlife with a view of numerous small islands. At the right time of year, whales can be seen. The second part at the Old Quay takes you to see dinosaur statues, tributes to the strength and generosity of the pioneers, and the obelisk symbolising volunteerism.
