With over 650 km of trails, the International Appalachian Trail crosses the Gaspé Peninsula, including the Matane Wildlife Reserve section. Whether you're going on a short hike or a long expedition, the mountainous landscapes and panoramic views of the river and the Chic-Chocs are breathtaking.

For a unique winter experience, discover the coastline by bike on oversized tires. The 8 km trail at Sentiers de l'Igloo allows you to enjoy the unique panorama of the river and the coastline.

The Matane Wildlife Reserve offers a variety of trails accessible to all. Enjoy wildlife viewing, forest walks, or a section of the International Appalachian Trail to explore the region in a preserved natural setting.

Gaspésie Park offers breathtaking scenery and numerous outdoor activities for all levels. Hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or backcountry skiing: everyone can find something to enjoy in this exceptional setting in the heart of the Chic-Chocs.

Keep your eyes peeled when walking on the beaches of Matane: you might come across a mermaid's tear, a small piece of coloured glass polished by the waves and sand. According to legend, these shards are the tears of a mermaid in love. Find one and whisper a wish… maybe the sea will grant it!
