HAUTES-GORGES-DE-LA-RIVIÈRE-MALBAIE NATIONAL PARK

Covering 224.9 km², the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park, a protected area of the Charlevoix World Biosphere Reserve, is home to one of the most impressive valleys in Quebec. Mounts Elie and Jérémie as well as Maple Mountain dominate the valleys of the Malbaie River, the Martres River, Lac Noir and the Ruisseau du Pont. In fact, the gigantic walls (1,000 meter drop) that encircle the Malbaie River, the beauty of the landscapes and the important ecological value of this park make this territory exceptional in Eastern Canada.

There are two service centers in the park: the Félix-Antoine-Savard Discovery and Service Centre and the Le Draveur Service Centre. In order to limit vehicular traffic in the park, a shuttle service is offered between the two service centers in the summer. From December to mid-May, the park remains accessible for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Access fees are payable at the pay station and services are restricted during this period.
