Coaticook – a bridge between town and country  

As you explore this region, your eyes will take in the sweep of stunning rural landscapes. Along the Voie des pionniers, and the Townships Trail colourful characters from the past come alive.

The heart of this Cœur villageois beats to the rhythm of nature, which, thanks to Foresta Lumina, is sprinkled with a touch of magic. Situated in the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook, this nocturnal extravaganza – a sound and light show - attracts thousands of visitors every year.

 

An enchanting tale

A local legend says that if you launch a samara – a winged “key” from a tree – off a bridge into the Coaticook River, your wishes will come true! The bridge spanning the Gorge – the highest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America – and the bridge over the Pratt Creek (downtown) are the very places to test this enchanting tale.
