Return in nature!
In the Mauricie region at the centre of the province of Québec, Parc de la rivière Batiscan is just the perfect place for those who wish to enjoy outdoor activities with the respect of nature in mind. Indeed, the park has always had the mission of promoting environmental preservation and education while still helping the development of activities inside the park. You will thus be able to enjoy the outdoors without disturbing the environment. The 400 hectares (1000 acres) of Parc de la rivière Batiscan will easily allow you to practise sports during your visit, like hiking in the 25 kilometres of trails inside the park, navigate serenely in a canoe on the Batiscan River or play sports like volleyball, cycling, swimming and even fishing. In order to enjoy all these activities in just one visit, the park also has a camping ground allowing you to stay for a few nights. Parc de la rivière Batiscan suggests you in addition to take the free tour of one of the oldest dam in Québec as well as the visit of the old hydroelectric power plant of Saint-Narcisse.
All of this without mentioning the exceptional location of the park at the junction of the Canadian Shield and the St. Lawrence Lowlands. This unique geology brings staggering sceneries including falls, cascades and basins. These natural beauties can be seen throughout numerous viewpoints along the magnificent Batiscan River. All your senses will therefore be useful for your next visit to Parc de la rivière Batiscan.
