Forêt-Ouareau Regional Park, Regional park in Matawinie, Canada.

The park encompasses 150 square kilometers of wilderness across Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, Entrelacs, Saint-Côme, and Chertsey municipalities in Quebec.

The Commission de toponymie du Québec officially recognized the park's name on September 24, 2003, referencing the Ouareau River mentioned in 1789 survey maps.

The name Ouareau comes from an Algonquin word meaning 'far away', reflecting the Indigenous heritage of the region.

The park offers 120 kilometers of trails through five sectors: Massif, Grande-Jetée, Grande-Vallée, Suspension Bridge, and Foothills for hiking and winter activities.

Rock climbing walls at Lac Blanc and along Murmures Trail operate under the Quebec Federation of Mountain and Climbing management system.
