La Mauricie National Park

La Mauricie National Park's specialists maintain a vast network of marked trails covering almost 70 km for classic and skate-style cross-country skiing, as well as over 50 km for winter hiking in the heart of the forest. Trail quality is our top priority.

The team maintains the cross-country ski trails with modern groomers, equipped with a GPS system that continuously feeds the following interactive trail conditions map.
