Forillon National Park, National park in Gaspé, Canada
Forillon National Park sits at the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, where forests, cliffs, and rocky shorelines meet the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The park features hiking trails, beaches, and viewpoints that show how the land meets the water.
The park was established in 1970 and became Quebec's first of its kind. Creating it meant that families with deep roots in the Grande-Grave area had to leave their homes and move elsewhere.
The Grande-Grave Heritage Site shows how fishing families lived in the early 1900s through restored houses and exhibits about their daily work. Walking through the buildings gives you a real sense of what life was like for people who made their living from the sea.
The park has several campgrounds with a range of options from basic tent sites to fully equipped cabins. Bring sturdy hiking shoes since trails go through forests, along cliffs, and across rocky terrain.
Seven different whale species regularly visit the waters around the park, while black bears, moose, and seals roam the land. This mix of marine and land animals means each season brings chances to spot different creatures.
