Outdoor Adventure
Summer activities are never in short supply in the Laurentian mountains! Take a wilderness hike in the thick Laurentian forest, a morning horseback ride along a riverside trail, or bicycle along our famous linear park. Whatever you choose, you will be surrounded by some of the most inspiring natural beauty in all of the Laurentians. Deer, wolves, coyotes, raccoons, otters and moose are all common to the Laurentian area, as well as many attractive species of birds including eagles. The Laurentian mountains have a high concentration of maple, spruce and yellow birch making this not just scenic - but also maple syrup country!

Hiking
