Réserve faunique des Laurentides
 |
Réserve faunique des Laurentides is a protected area where you can enjoy a complete range of outdoor activities. Found 45 minutes from Québec City and 20 minutes from Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, the Camp Mercier sector is the nerve centre for the reserve’s outdoor activities. Here, you will find a network of mountain biking trails, accessible both for the whole family and seasoned enthusiasts. Among the array of activities, there’s canoeing, kayaking and fishing, as well as observation of plants and animals.
Ready Your Bikes!
Do you like mountain biking? Well then, you’ll find yourself in heaven when exploring the reserve’s trails dedicated to this activity. There are nearly 40 km (25 mi) of trails winding across the mountainous Camp Mercier area and through Forêt Montmorency. Camp Mercier even offers mountain bike rentals with half-day rates.
More daring individuals can outdo themselves on the more difficult 27-km (17-mi) section that leads to Le Pic viewpoint, found at an altitude of nearly 800 m (2,625 ft). The easier trail will treat you to discovery of two brook trout spawning grounds, set up with interpretation panels.
