Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay Adventures

Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay is located in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada. The park covers a section of the Saguenay River fjord and its surrounding forests and cliffs, preserving a rare geological feature created during the last glaciation period. This fjord extends approximately 100 km inland from the Saint Lawrence River and features steep-sided cliffs reaching up to 500 meters high, creating dramatically scenic landscapes. The park’s diverse ecosystems include boreal forests, cliffs, wetlands, and aquatic habitats that support abundant wildlife such as black bears, moose, seals in the fjord waters, and numerous bird species including ospreys and peregrine falcons. Historically, the area was inhabited by Indigenous peoples and later saw logging and marine transport use before being protected for its natural and cultural significance. Visitors can enjoy an extensive trail network with options ranging from easy walks to challenging hikes with panoramic views over the fjord. Popular activities include kayaking on the calm fjord waters, wildlife watching, rock climbing on the cliffs, and cross-country skiing in winter. The park includes notable landmarks such as Cap Trinité and Cap Éternité, iconic promontories offering breathtaking vistas, as well as whale and seal viewing opportunities from the shore and boats. The park's combination of geological wonder, biodiversity, outdoor recreation, and accessibility make it a prime destination throughout spring to autumn, especially for those seeking adventure and nature immersion in Quebec’s protected wilderness.
