Description

The Sept-Chutes Regional Park is known for its views of the Matawinie landscapes and the Laurentian mountain ranges, and is a popular hiking destination in the region. In terms of accessibility, there are no accessible shelters and all of the trails are very rugged. There are no accessible toilets on site and no adapted equipment is available. It should be noted that at the time of the assessment, in the summer of 2025, a new reception area was being renovated on Route 131, near the Lac Jérôme trails.
