Description

Added by Nicole Cote

A quick hike that is not one to skip

At the parking area, find the trailhead and start walking! This trail is one that is hard to get lost on but still has its tricks. When you first get to Lac-Gabet, you will think it's over, but don't fret. Where the trail first meets the lake, there is a river to the left, you need to cross this river to continue down the trail and make it to the blind/lookout. At the end of the trail, there is a blind/lookout made so people can watch moose.

The large sign stating "Le Centeniare" is hard to ...
