Jacques-Cartier National Park, National park in Quebec, Canada

The Jacques-Cartier Valley extends through mountainous plateaus with deep glacial formations, where the river alternates between rapids and calm sections.

The park, established in 1981 and managed by Sepaq, preserves natural environments including coniferous forests, high plateaus, and deciduous trees in valley depths.

Over 130 bird species inhabit the park alongside moose, beavers, white-tailed deer, and foxes, making wildlife observation a central activity for visitors.

Visitors can access 100 kilometers of hiking trails, participate in water activities like canoeing and kayaking in summer, or enjoy snowshoeing in winter.

The park features specialized fishing areas where guests can catch speckled trout, while maintaining mandatory catch-and-release practices for salmon populations.
