Plaisance National Park

Plaisance National Park stretches across 28.3 square kilometers of wetlands, featuring numerous bays, ponds, and marshes along the Outaouais River in Quebec.

The Canadian government established this protected area in March 2002 to preserve the natural environments and maintain biodiversity in the Outaouais region.

The park integrates educational programs about local wildlife, including guided tours focused on beaver habitats and rare shark fin mussels native to the region.

Visitors can access more than 40 kilometers of biking paths and 6 kilometers of walking trails, with 150 camping sites available from late April to October.

During spring migration, thousands of Canada geese gather in the park's wetlands, creating natural spectacles as they rest in the protected marshes.
