Sail at your own pace for 4 hours on Lake Arthabaska and its neighbours by renting a kayak at the Grands-Jardins National Park in Charlevoix!
An unmissable unspoilt site in Charlevoix, the Grands-Jardins National Park is home to numerous lakes rich in flora and fauna. It is an exceptional place for an outdoor excursion, just 1 hour's drive from La Malbaie and 1.5 hours from Saguenay! And one of the best ways to discover this environment, part of the Central Areas of the Charlevoix Biosphere Reserve, is to rent a kayak on Lake Arthabaska, an activity accessible to anyone who can swim from 10 years old.
Alone in your own boat or in pairs, you can kayak independently on Lake Arthabaska, as well as on connected lakes such as Lac des Îles and Lake Pemmican, as far as the Wabano Dam. Before you set off, you will also have the chance to pick up a self-discovery guide, provided free of charge by the Grands-Jardins National Park team to help you learn more about the natural world around you!
