Parc national de Frontenac | Ville de Québec

Parc national de Frontenac sits on the shores of Grand lac Saint-François, the 3rd biggest lake south of the St. Lawrence River. It’s a haven for more than 200 bird species and over 30 mammal species. The hardwood-covered hills are the kingdom of white-tailed deer, while the mosaic of lakes, ponds, marshes and streams shelter ducks, otters and other creatures who go about their business under the gaze of the great blue heron, ever-present on the territory. Boating activities are featured here, along with hiking and cycling. Whether you camp, go canoe-camping or stay in a ready-to-camp tent, cabin or rustic shelter, you’ll discover a gorgeous natural setting, including a captivatingly fragrant peat bog that’s at least a thousand years old. Carnivore plants, orchids, and the arrow Arum, a rare plant species, also reflect the rich biodiversity of Parc national de Frontenac.
