OVERVIEW

Embark on a journey to Forillon National Park, where nature's wonders await to be discovered. Nestled at the tip of the Gaspe Peninsula, Forillon National Park stands as a testament to Canada's commitment to preserving its pristine coastal beauty. Here, time seems to stand still as you encounter geological formations dating back a staggering 450 million years. Spanning over 244 square kilometers, this natural sanctuary is a tapestry of rugged cliffs, tranquil coves, sandy beaches, and towering mountains, all harmoniously sculpted by the elements. As you explore, you'll encounter distinct rock formations, each telling a story of millennia-old transformations. The park's diverse ecosystem teems with life, from colonies of seabirds soaring overhead to elusive arctic-alpine plants clinging to the rocky terrain. But Forillon is not only a sanctuary of nature; it's also a living museum of human history.For a coastal adventure like no other, follow the Du Banc Trail, tracing the shoreline as it winds towards the majestic Forillon cliffs and the iconic Cap-des-Rosiers lighthouse. Pause to reflect at the Irish Memorial, a poignant reminder of the lives lost at sea in 1847. Along the way, amenities such as restrooms, observation towers, and picnic areas ensure a comfortable and memorable journey.
