Mont-Tremblant National Park, National park in Quebec, Canada
Mont-Tremblant National Park covers forested mountains, lakes, and rivers spread across the Laurentian region of Quebec. The property includes hiking trails, camping grounds, canoe rentals, and lodging options from basic sites to furnished cabins.
Mont-Tremblant Park was created on 12 January 1895, after a planned sanatorium there was never built. Quebec kept a conservationist approach allowing logging, which continued in the park until 1981. From 60 km² at its founding, it was enlarged to 1,510 km² in 1925. It became a recreation park in 1981, a conservation park in 2000 and took its present name in 2001.
The Algonquin called the massif Manitonga Soutana, Mountain of Spirits or of the Devil, and said it rumbled and swayed underfoot. The park's eastern wolf is its emblem; about 35 are estimated in four or five packs, hunting beaver, moose and deer.
The park is split into three sectors: Diable, reached via highway 15 and route 117 from Montreal or route 323 from Ottawa; Pimbina, via route 125 from Saint-Donat; and Assomption, through Saint-Côme. Access is also possible from La Macaza, Labelle and Saint-Michel-des-Saints. The park was designated a dark-sky preserve in 2023, so night programs reward a late stay.
The eastern wolf is the park's emblem; estimates suggest four or five packs and about 35 wolves, which mainly hunt beaver, moose and deer. The park was designated a dark-sky preserve in 2023, and its rock is Grenville Province gneiss and granulite, the youngest geological province of the Canadian Shield.
