Region:
Municipality:
Located in the heart of Baie-Comeau, the Boisé de la Pointe St-Gilles offers 11 kilometers of trails dotted with rest stops, sculptures, pyrographed wood panels, Lafontaine fables and small culverts. In short, it's a feast for the eyes. This 175-hectare green space runs alongside the majestic St. Lawrence River, and within one square kilometer, you'll find an urban, forest, marine and lake ecosystem. There are few cities where these environments come so close together.
