Bic National Park

Bic National Park sits along the Saint Lawrence River coast with rocky capes, hills, and stone-lined coves spread across the protected area. The park features about 25 kilometers of trails and a bicycle rental facility at one of its main sectors.

Ships navigating the Saint Lawrence River used this location as a critical stopping point from the earliest days of European settlement. The area was designated as a park to protect its natural features and its place in the region's past.

The interpretive centers explain how people have historically depended on the river and its resources for their livelihood. You can learn how the landscape and local communities have shaped each other over generations.

Walking trails are best explored in clear weather, and routes suit different fitness levels. Head to the designated viewing areas, especially at low tide, to watch seals gathering on the rocks without disturbing them.

Two seal colonies, including harbor and gray seals, use the rocky shoreline and gather regularly on stones across the seasons. This natural occurrence makes the park one of the few places in the region where visitors can watch these animals on such a consistent basis.
