Parc national de la Yamaska

Put on your hats and mittens, it’s time to go play outside! The first stop: Parc National de la Yamaska. Grab your snowshoes and head out to explore the forest’s snow-covered trails. Let the children lead the way and keep an eye out for the ones who’ll be the first to spot wildlife tracks in the snow. With a little luck, you might even see a white-tailed deer! Would you like to give your family more options? The park also offers cross-country skiing, fatbike trails, sliding and ice fishing, depending on the weather. All you need to do is decide which activity is sure to please your troops. And don’t forget to bring a thermos filled with hot chocolate, along with some tasty snacks. Nothing tops enjoying a foodie break in the middle of nature before continuing your adventure!
