Sliding / Tobogganing

Sliding or tobogganing at Kouchibouguac National Park is a fun experience for the whole family!

Only one area in the Park is suitable for tobogganing; the Patterson hill. This hill is located behind the Patterson shelter 2 km from the Pijeboogwek parking lot. Visitors who choose to walk to the hill will have to follow the ski trail.

In order to keep our X-Country Ski trails in the best condition possible, walkers are asked to walk alongside the trail and not on the tracks and to give way to skiers.

For Your Safety

• Remember that you are responsible for your own safety and security!
• In case of an accident or emergency call 911. Be prepared for the possibility that you may have to wait for help if you have an accident.
• Cell phone coverage is not available everywhere. Pay phones are located at Pijeboogwek and at the visitor reception centre.
• Avoid hypothermia and frostbites by dressing appropriately. Be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions. Check air temperature and wind chill factor before skiing.
• Make sure to tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return. Stay on designated trails.
• Check ice conditions before crossing rivers and estuaries.
