Description

Champboisé Regional Park offers 165 acres of nature along the La rivière du Lièvre and various activities such as hiking, disc golf, geocaching, play and exercise modules, and access to the boat launch. The Vieux Chemin trail, a 560-meter loop, connects to the Sentier des Arts sector, which features sculptures and a heritage trail passing by the former Cosgrove farmhouse.
Several areas of the park are equipped with picnic tables, but none of them are adapted. The restroom facilities have steps, but an adapted chemical toilet is located near the parking lot. Please note that at the time of our visit in the summer of 2025, the new visitor center was under construction, so the information presented here may have changed since then. A Joëlette wheelchair is available free of charge upon reservation.
