La Tuque, the perfect destination for outdoor family fun

Three cycling routes to explore the region

With 33 kilometres of bike paths winding through both cityscapes and forests, La Tuque is a true paradise for cyclists of all levels. Take the Visite citadine route through downtown La Tuque and discover key attractions like the suspension bridge, the Pavillon d’Exposition Atisoko, and Parc des Générations. Starting at Parc des Chutes, the Boucle des rivières route runs along the scenic Petite rivière Bostonnais, while the Trajet de la centrale route follows the majestic Saint-Maurice River all the way to the Hydro-Québec generating station. A detailed map is available for free at the tourist information office or online to help you plan your outing.

Themed festivals for all tastes

All summer long, La Tuque comes alive with festivals, each offering weekends packed with activities centred around a specific theme. The Festival du poisson qui mord is a must-attend event for fishing enthusiasts who don’t want to go home empty-handed, while the Festival de la sainte paix offers a peaceful escape in the heart of nature.

Motorcycle enthusiasts who live for the open road won’t want to miss the Festival du moteur qui gronde. Love exploring new things? The Festival du curieux de nature is sure to delight both music lovers and history buffs.

Each festival brings something unique to the table, but they all offer an authentic taste of the region!

A buffet of activities at Parc des Chutes

Every summer, Parc des Chutes transforms into a lively gathering place, offering a mix of free and paid workshops, events, and activities to help you reconnect with nature. Visitors can explore the fascinating world of Atikamekw tales and legends, enjoy outdoor yoga sessions, or explore medicinal forest plants alongside dedicated guides. With its walking paths, lookout tower, and playgrounds, the park is a peaceful haven in the heart of the city.
