Amédée River and Île du Colon, easier version
Set off to explore the confluence of the Amédée River and the Saint Lawrence River. The Amédée River ends with some interesting rapids and joins the river in an impressive curved descent. The trail will then take you to Île du Colon. Here is a version where the difficult part of the Amédée River and Île du Colon hike is replaced by a more accessible trail.Use of the Visorando app recommended.
Estuary, dunes and viewpoints at Moulin à Baude
Moulin à Baude: viewpoints, estuary, beach, and above all, a huge dune that could be called "the Dune du Pilat of the Saint-Laurent". You wouldn't expect to find such a large amount of sand on the banks of a river. You can also discover gneiss, a metamorphic rock consisting of alternating light and dark bands found at the water's edge.
Boisé de la Falaise in Baie-Comeau
A short hike in the Boisé de la Falaise, on the rocky plateau of the Manicouagan. The trail runs along the St. Lawrence River and offers an idyllic beach, while remaining on the trails. If you have an hour to spare during the day, this is the place to go.
Anse à l'Eau and Pointe de l'Islet in Tadoussac
Come and explore Tadoussac from top to bottom. Tadoussac is a small seaside resort with plenty of shops and restaurants, a few historic buildings and a marine mammal interpretation centre.This hike offers several viewpoints, including one where we were lucky enough to see a whale up close.
Discover Old Quebec
Hike through Old Quebec City to discover its many magnificent monuments (parliament, city hall, basilica-cathedral, castle, etc.), its citadel, which connects to a more natural but equally historic area: the Plains of Abraham.
Amédée River and Île du Colon
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.
