Only 20 minutes from Old Québec, this bird-watching paradise is home to 160 bird species, 33 mammal species and 10 reptile species.
A natural park where you can explore the wetlands and observe the abundant, diversified fauna living there. Take a stroll along the 8 km (5 miles) of footpaths along practically level terrain. The program of interesting activities can help you learn more about this lush setting. Paddle along kilometres of calm water in a rabaska canoe with family or friends. Take part in a fascinating guided tour to discover hidden wetland treasures or uncover the surprising historical secrets of St-Charles Lake. If you would like to spot a mink, otter, beaver, hare or deer in its natural habitat, then keep your eyes and ears open! There is a good chance that, when visiting the area (either on your own or with a guide), that you will encounter an aquatic bird, a heron or a concert of croaking frogs.
