If weather conditions do not change, a prescribed fire will take place this weekend in the lac en Cœur sector to regenerate the forest. The lac en Coeur Portage and the Formont Lake Portage will therefore be closed.
Don't worry if you see smoke in the coming days. The situation is under control!
More information about prescribed fire
In 2019, the Parkway rehabilitation will require the closure of the section between the Esker and the Wapizagonke Picnic Area. It will not be possible to cross the park from one entrance to the other, so please plan your visit accordingly. Click here for details.
As well as forests of conifers and hardwoods, La Mauricie will treat you to touches of azure: the Park has more than 150 lakes of various sizes. During the day, let the haunting cry of the common loon thrill your spirit. Nearby, pools at the foot of waterfalls invite you to come for a swim. When evening falls, it's the hooting of the barred owl or the great horned owl that lulls you to sleep.
