Réserve faunique des Laurentides is an immense protected area where you can enjoy a complete range of outdoor activities. Located 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’ll find a network of mountain biking trails that’s accessible for both families and enthusiasts. Among the many activities you can enjoy, there’s canoeing, kayaking, fishing and observation of plants and animals. Two family campsites are perfect for an introduction to fishing for the whole family. In winter, Camp Mercier is a favourite site for cross-country skiers and vacationers. No matter the season, Réserve faunique des Laurentides is a must. Photo credit: Réserve faunique des Laurentides, Sépaq.
