Saguenay Fjord National Park, National park along Saguenay Fjord in Tadoussac, Canada.

The fjord stretches over 100 kilometers through granite cliffs rising 300 meters above water level, forming deep valleys and bays along the Saguenay River.

The fjord formation began 950 million years ago with the Laurentian Mountains uplift, followed by parallel faults and glaciations that created the U-shaped valley.

Native American populations inhabited the region for 4000 years, establishing Tadoussac as a major trading center before European settlement in 1600.

The park network includes 100 kilometers of hiking trails, remote campsites, and shelters distributed across three sectors accessible from routes 170 and 172.

Marine mammals, including beluga whales, frequent the waters where the cold, salty North Atlantic meets the freshwater of the Saint Lawrence River.
