We saved you a seat!
Parks Canada has placed over 200 red Adirondack chairs in peaceful and scenic locations throughout many of the country’s most unique and treasured places, including the 2 sets found here at the Saint-Ours Canal National Historic Site.

Any means is fine for going in search of the red chairs along the the Saint-Ours Canal, whether on foot, by bicycle or even by boat! While some chairs are easy to spot, others require a little more effort.

Parks Canada’s red chairs: where it all started
In 2011, our friends at Gros Morne National Park came up with the idea to place sets of Adirondack chairs in lesser-known, stunning locations around the park, inviting visitors to enjoy and share on social media. Today, the iconic red chairs can be found in over 100 locations administered by Parks Canada.
