Coaticook

The 108 farms situated on its territory, 66 of which are dairy, make Coaticook a major player in Quebec’s dairy production. The former hamlet of Baldwin offers a variety of outdoor activities, be it the Parc Découverte nature de Baldwin or the trails at Mount Pinnacle which offers a magnificent view of Lake Lyster. The recommended heritage tours are an interesting way to enjoy the town’s rich architecture. The natural result of millions of years of erosion, the Coaticook Gorge is 50 metres deep. The Coaticook Gorge Park features a covered bridge (a faithful recreation of an 1887 bridge lost to flooding in 1998), two observation towers, and an outdoor campsite, among other major attractions. Be sure to visit the foot suspension bridge that links two sides of the gorge; it spans the void for 169 metres, and according to Guinness is the longest such bridge in the world.
