Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie

About

Les Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie national park displays landscapes worthy of the forces of nature that crafted it, and the people who visited it over the years. Landscape shapes of impressive diversity are found here: glacial valleys carving the high plateaux, white waters alternating with still waters and waterfalls and cascades going down the rock walls. Discover it by boat, canoe, kayak and bicycle or on foot.
