Témiscouata: your destination for outdoor family fun this summer

With family-friendly trails, peaceful landscapes, and activities for all ages, Témiscouata has everything you need to create lasting memories. Here are three ideas for a fun-filled family vacation in the great outdoors!

Bike the Petit Témis trail

Built on an old railway track, Parc linéaire interprovincial Petit Témis is the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely family bike ride.

Connecting Rivière-du-Loup to Edmundston, New Brunswick, this 134-km car-free trail puts parents’ minds at ease with its safe layout and gentle grade. The many rest stops along the way also make it easy to take a break, enjoy a picnic, or simply relax and take it all in. A fun, accessible, and stress-free experience for the whole family!

Go hiking in Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata

Bordered by one of the largest lakes south of the St. Lawrence River, Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata is a top destination for families looking to spend time outdoors.

A true playground for kiddos, the Curieux de nature trail is an absolute must. Dotted with interactive stations, this short 0.7-km path lets young explorers take on challenges, get moving, and discover new things, all while learning about the history of the region. Get ready for a fun-filled, educational experience guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

Make a splash at Pohénégamook beach

No trip to the region is complete without a day at Camping Plage Pohénégamook.

Lauded as one of the most beautiful in Quebec, Pohénégamook beach is a hit with families looking for waterside fun thanks to its large inflatable water games. You can even rent outdoor equipment onsite, such as canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, paddle boards, and more.

And who knows, you might even catch a glimpse of Ponik, the legendary creature said to inhabit Lac Pohénégamook!
