Parc-nature de la Pointe-aux-Prairies
GUEPE is present in this nature park for outdoor equipment rentals and cross-country ski lessons in the winter, but also for interpretive activities offered to the general public. Some of our summer day camps also take place in this magnificent location.
In any season, nature lovers have plenty of space to explore. Beautiful trails lead through several ecosystems. A reception chalet in the Heritage sector is the gateway to the mature forest, while the Des Marais pavilion opens onto a chain of marshes. This park is home to 184 species of birds and a herd of white-tailed deer.
