While you’re out there in nature, take a moment to marvel at the remarkable richness of Quebec’s ecosystems. Hiking in our forests or paddling our lakes and rivers, keep your eyes and ears open for the many secrets that the fauna and flora can reveal. Carved by glaciers over 10,000 years ago, our landscapes also have much to tell. To watch moose, wolves, whales or birds, to learn about the trees and plants of our forests or to understand the complex processes that formed our mountains and valleys, opt for an excursion with an interpretive guide or as a self-guided itinerary. Our Quality-Safety certified businesses and our regional parks will help you experience an unforgettable contact with Quebec’s nature.
The Tourisme Cantons-de-l’Est visitor region offers a full menu of outdoor activities, from hiking to winter horseback riding for all. Its four national parks – Mont-Megantic, Frontenac, Mont-Orford and Yamaska ? offer a rainbow of activities like camping, kayaking and canoeing. When the fall colours are in full swing, the Eastern Townships are the place to be. And on your next bicycle tour, discover its 365 km cycling network that tours the entire region, with circuits that showcase local gastronomy or summit scenery. An amazing natural reserve, year-round this region is a breath of fresh air!
