We love the great outdoors. Fortunately, half of Québec is covered with forests and there are 3 million lakes. In figures, there are more than 200 protected areas accessible to the public and just as many ways to discover our priceless flora and fauna. Now that’s a playground!
National parks and wildlife reserves
Québec’s some 50 national parks and wildlife reserves provide a huge outdoor playground, adventure and fresh air galore. These areas protect vast ecosystems and can be explored through a variety of activities that respect their fragility and showcase their exceptional biodiversity.
Regional and municipal parks
We cohabitate with wildlife, which is present even in our cities and urban centres. That’s why Québec is dotted with more than 180 major regional and municipal parks so that we can play outside, picnic with friends, sunbathe, or stretch out on the grass with a good book. Why not escape the daily grind and watch the frolicking squirrels instead. And, yes, you can even enjoy a swim!
