Parc national des Hautes‑Gorges-de-la-Rivière‑Malbaie | Ville de Québec

Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie was named after a series of valleys cut deep into a range of high mountains.The Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie are among the highest rock faces East of the Rockies! Steep slopes, beautiful natural surroundings, and the unusual course of Rivière Malbaie make this an exceptional site. Come and take a voyage into the heart of the Land of Menaud, where time stops but the spectacle goes on and on. This national park has the privilege of being one of the core zones of the Charlevoix Biosphere Reserve.

From legendary Acropole-des-Draveurs* trail, featuring a breathtaking view, by way of Riverain trail, with its amazing lookouts, or along the river via Des Rapides trail, the park offers a great many ways to discover the territory, according to the capacities of each visitor.
