                              Forêt Ô Cascades offers traditional campsites as well as two types of ready-to-camp accommodations. Among these, although it has several obstacles that could compromise accessibility, the UNIQ hotel glamping would be best suited to accommodate a person in a wheelchair. The pods and cabins are not accessible.
                              A Joëlette is available for exploring the site and trails. With the use of this wheelchair, some trails are accessible. For more information on the trails, consult the trail forms below or contact the establishment.
