Anticosti National Park

The park spans 572 square kilometers across three separate areas, featuring cliffs, canyons, waterfalls, and caves along the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The Quebec government purchased Anticosti Island in 1974, leading to the establishment of the national park in 2001 after 14 years of research.

The McDonald Centre serves as an information hub where visitors learn about local nature through exhibitions and interpretive programs about the island's ecosystems.

Visitors can access 125 kilometers of hiking trails throughout the park, with accommodations available at Auberge Port-Menier near the coast.

The park contains the Vauréal Falls, where the river drops 76 meters into a canyon, creating one of Quebec's most substantial waterfalls.
