You step out of the van with the shaft of morning sun cutting across spruce and maple; the air smells of wet rock and pine sap. The trail climbs immediately, a series of rooty pitches and exposed ledges that push you to a steady pace.

Parc National du Mont-Orford was established in the 1930s as part of provincial efforts to preserve outdoor recreation areas; the park sits within the Eastern Townships, an area shaped by both Indigenous presence and later French and English settlement.
The park is managed to balance recreation with habitat protection—stay on marked trails, pack out all waste, and follow seasonal restrictions to protect fragile soils and shoreline ecosystems.
TrailTrek operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
