Enjoy Gaspésie

Observing wildlife in the Gaspésie region is a chance to experience pure enchantment! Admire the grey seals and harbour seals poking their pretty heads out of the water or basking on the rocks, and watch the majestic whales emerge on the horizon. Get up close to the largest and most accessible colony of gannets in the world, and meet black bears, white-tailed deer, moose and the only caribou herd south of the St. Lawrence!

Totalling just over three kilometres, the eight short hiking trails in the Parc régional de la rivière Mitis invite you to observe plant life and various bird species. Take advantage of your fall hike to climb the lookout, from where you can see as far as the Côte-Nord region. The park also boasts various ecosystems, a marsh and a forest, as well as a long beach on the edge of Baie de Mitis, where you can stroll and enjoy the exceptional view of the river. Who knows, you might even spot a seal!
