Description
The Sentier des Caps de Charlevoix trail network spans the Côte-de-Beaupré and Charlevoix regions. It offers unique views of the St. Lawrence River, from the Montmagny Archipelago to Île-aux-Coudres, while providing access to exceptional forest ecosystems, including old-growth forests that are nearly 400 years old.
Suitable for day hikes or multi-day trips, this network consists of nearly 70 km of hiking (or snowshoeing) trails, 35 km of cross-country ski trails, 9 rustic shelters, 31 campsites, and nearly 20 lookouts.
