Mont-Orford National Park, Nature reserve in Austin, Quebec, Canada.
Mont-Orford National Park is a nature reserve in the Eastern Townships featuring mountain terrain, forests, and lakes. The land offers varied landscapes from dense woodlands to open summits, connected by numerous hiking and skiing routes.
Quebec established this protected area in 1938 to preserve the mountain landscape of the Eastern Townships from development. The designation marked an early step toward conservation of natural resources in this region.
The park serves as an educational center where visitors learn about Quebec's flora and fauna through guided programs and interpretive exhibits.
The land is accessible on foot and with ski equipment, with both activities on marked routes. Visitors should prepare for changing weather, as elevation and season strongly affect conditions.
The park includes five distinct mountain peaks, each with its own hiking routes and viewpoints. This variety of summits makes it possible to combine different routes and choose tours based on interest and fitness level.
