Fall in Portneuf brings dozens of kilometres of hiking in a variety of landscapes, from the shores of the St. Lawrence River to the Laurentian Shield, with Vallée Bras-du-Nord, Parc naturel régional de Portneuf and, even more surprisingly, an urban peat bog or a marsh along the St. Lawrence. Enjoy the peace and quiet of lakes and valleys on trails that bring you into direct contact with nature, where you can admire the colours and observe the flora and fauna. Be sure to have your camera handy to capture these memorable moments! To make it easier for everyone to visit, a dozen sites have universal accessibility.
