Pointe à la Loche is a quiet little place to pause along the Saint-Maurice, with the river stretching out beside you and a wooden shelter for an easy break. The point's long been used as an access spot for anglers, but you don’t need a fishing rod to appreciate the calm water and unhurried atmosphere.

The Rapides des Hêtres bring a lively burst of white water to the Saint-Maurice River, stretching for around 800 metres. Their name, used since at least the late 1800s, comes from the beech trees once noted on a nearby mountain. From here, you have a view of the rapids out in the river, but the best view is from Île Anselme-Fay, which you can access via a nearby bridge.

Fantastic view of the lake. It is especially beautiful here when the autumn leaves change color.

I don't know what's more exciting, listening to the water rushing down or watching it - an experience for all the senses.

Without doubt the most beautiful and easily accessible belvedere in La Mauricie National Park. It allows you to admire the waters of Lake Wapizagonke and its surroundings from two platforms with different orientation.

In September, at the beginning of Indian Summer, it is simply fantastic here.
