General Information:

On the North Shore of the Saint-Lawrence, we encounter both marine and mountainous views. It is on the extreme eastern tip of the Canadian Shield and a region of huge hydro-electric dams. Trails wind through coniferous forests in the south, and further north we find taiga and tundra.

Practical Information:

  • Regional network:
    14 clubs (2 320 Km of trails)
  • Main trails:
    The North Shore is served mainly by trail 3 from Tadoussac up to Baie Johan-Beetz. A marked trail, maintained by the Quebec Ministry of Transportation, extends trail 3 along the coast to Blanc-Sablon on the Lower North Shore. There are a multitude of local trails. There is also an « explorer » type trail called the « Challenge of the Great North » which joins Port-Cartier (to the south) to Fermont (in the north). This 400 km long unmarked trail requires the accompaniment of a professional guide.
  • Accommodation accessible from the trail:
    Manicouagan : 745 rooms
    Duplessis : 635 rooms
  • Snow conditions:
    From the beginning of December (Fermont region) until mid-April

Location:

At the far east of Quebec, on the North Shore of the Saint-Lawrence and to the east of the Saguenay River, bordering Labrador (Newfoundland) to the east. Served mainly by Highway 138 from Quebec City and Highway 172 from Chicoutimi. It is possible to cross the St Lawrence. The trail network is accessible at various points.
