Parc national des Monts-Valin

We visited for the day. We had a great time kayak and canoeing on the Lac at the top.
The staff were lovely, had a great chat and explaining things so nicely. They were very patient with us. For those with younger children, you must be 12 for paddle boarding.
Lovely views. Rain didn't dampen our spirits.

Very helpful staff. Very kind. Beautiful view. Walking paths are built with various difficulty levels. They even built benches along some paths. Location is only 40 minutes from Saguenay. Plenty of activities if you wish. Consult their website SEPAC. Open year round. Enjoy the great outdoors 👍

They have two hiking trails for dogs... We took the 2.5 hour one and did it in 3.5 hours. Awesome experience. .. nice challenge. In fact once u hit the summit - there are more lookouts farther along - but we were beat. The park is also continuing to build more lookouts. It is sooooo worth the climb! Ps the park employees were also very helpful.

My fiance, dog and I spent the morning and early afternoon hiking Pic-de-la-Tete-de-Chien, and we were completely alone on the trail, the entire way. There was an ample parking lot to the left of the starting point for the trails, and each trail we came across was very well indicated.
Our trek was certainly difficult, it took us about 3h30mins with many breaks at each of the viewpoints, there were so many gorgeous lookouts, all very well indicated as well. The first 2km were rather easy and flat---we came across a running moose within the first 15 mins of our hike, be prepared! The rest of the way up was a gradual ascent and kept us working hard. The ending 500m were many wooden stairs, leading to a formal lookout. It was rather muddy, given the recent rain, but enjoyable nonetheless! Recommended!
