About
Datos rápidos: Granite and pink quartzite ridgelines catch the sunrise, turning the lakes into mirrors and filling the air with a sharp pine-and-moss scent that hikers remember. Friendly rangers and volunteer naturalists lead hands-on displays, interpretive walks and route-planning advice that help paddlers navigate dozens of canoe-access bays.
Destacados: A life-sized tactile topographic model under soft lighting lets you trace ridgelines and canoe routes by hand, the relief labeled down to 100-metre intervals for precise planning. Staff lead lantern-lit "map and moon" walks where leaders often count 12 to 25 departing canoe headlamps, a quiet, twinkling ritual that makes the shoreline feel like a living map.
Insider tips
- Dress in layers and wear sturdy shoes, quartzite ridges can be windy and much cooler than the shore.
- Bring insect repellent and sunscreen, shorelines attract mosquitoes and glare can be strong on sunny days.
- Ask staff at the counter for current trail and water-level info, they will highlight safer routes and portage conditions.
- Visit early on weekdays or late afternoon on weekends to avoid the busiest times and get clearer photo compositions.
