Fishing
The park has inaugurated the new Petite Rivière du Nord Trail in the Grande-Jetée Sector, in Chertsey, in June 2016. This educational and family oriented trail is surrounded by five interpretation boards, which will make you discover the lifecycle and habitat of the brook trout. It’s a wonderful activity for the whole family to learn how to fish!
Fishing is allowed in our Regional Parks. However, you must own a valid fishing license, obey recreational fishing rules, and have paid your park access fee. For more details, please check out the Sporting and outdoor activities guidelines.

The Ouareau Forest Regional Park is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. With nearly 120 km of trails, you’re sure to find a hike that suits you. To extend your adventure, don’t forget our shelters and campsites, available upon reservation, which will allow you to live the experience of spending the night in the heart of the forest.
Rock climbing
You are invited to discover the climbing walls located at Lac Blanc, Lac Castor, and in the Murmures trail. These walls are all affiliated with the Fédération québécoise de la montagne et de l’escalade (FQME). The FQME regulates access rights and rules. Before you go, we advise you to contact the FQME to know the state of the walls or to obtain other technical information on climbing.
Wall of the Murmures trail (Pont-Suspendu sector)
If you want to climb multi-pitch routes in an enchanting setting, with several routes of 3 to 5 pitches, this is the place to be. There are also some nice sports and traditional routes, as well as several nice boulders to discover along the approach trail. There is a camping site and a river at the foot of the wall. LEARN MORE (french only)
Lac du Castor and Lac Blanc walls (Contreforts sector)
Lac Blanc: This west-facing wall is particularly suited to lead climbing. It is only possible to climb with a top rope if one person can reach the summit as a first rope climber. LEARN MORE
Lac du Castor: This wall offers generally shorter routes on a unique rock type. Unfortunately, the routes tend to dry out very late in the season and stay wet for a long time after it rains. It can get extremely hot in the summer when the humidex is on, but Lac Castor is just a short walk away to cool off in the water. LEARN MORE
Canoe and paddle board (SUP)
Paddleboard (SUP)
Paddleboarding is another way to discover the park during the summer months. Take advantage of the calm waters of our lakes and some marked sections of the Ouareau River to enjoy the great outdoors. It gives you a whole new perspective of the nature surrounding you. You don’t have the equipment but you are curious to try it out? We offer a complete rental service (board, paddle, and personal flotation device) at the Contreforts, Pont-Suspendu, and Grand-Jetée registration centers.
- Contreforts sector: on the 1st lac du Castor. If the front desk is closed, please call the Pont Suspendu sector at 514-668-1218.
- IMPORTANT: Washing your canoe or board is mandatory before putting it in the water. A free washing station is at your disposal at 2890, Chemin Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci. You must show your proof of washing ticket at the registration center.

Canoe
Six (6) canoes and four (4) kayaks are at your disposal at the 1st Lac du Castor in the Contreforts sector. With the cliffs of the Sentier des Contreforts trails in the background, the sight is spectacular! It is a great activity to enhance your camping trip in the area. The canoes are located near your campsite. Please note that you must pay your rental fee at the front desk of the Contreforts sector to obtain the key to unlock the canoes and take the life jackets and paddles.
If the front desk is closed, please call the Pont Suspendu sector at 514-668-1218.
Whitewater canoeing and kayaking
For the more adventurous, the Ouareau River can be used for whitewater canoeing and kayaking. Depending on the season, conditions on the river can vary considerably. The park does not supervise this activity. You must therefore be autonomous to practice it and evaluate the risks. For those who would like to know more, check out the Fédération Québécoise du canot et du kayak website. In the “Search for courses” section, you can learn more about the possible courses in Matawinie, on the Ouareau River, and as well as on other rivers of the region.
Hebertism trail
In the Pont-Suspendu sector, a dozen hebertism modules are offered for the greatest pleasure of the children! In the heart of a beautiful pine forest, these playgrounds will nicely enhance your stay at the Pont-Suspendu campground or the Capucines refuge. They are located a few steps away! You can also try them out as a park visitor after a hike to the Pont-Suspendu or on the Murmures Trail. Daily access fee required.
Cycling
Grande-Jetée sector – 10 km
This is an easy-level linear trail in a multifunctional trail. The path is a 10 km round trip that leads to the Ouareau River and a picnic area.
