Parc national du Mont-Orford

Rented fat bikes at mont orford. Was cool. Trails are ok but narrow. Some are shared with pedestrians. The personal at the location were great.

Amazing park, trail variety is very good, from advanced to beginner, there's a trail for you. Lots of picnic tables, so after your good hike, you can enjoy your meals. 100% recommend

We chose the trail of mont chauve, and the signs on the trail are very clear. There are many flies and mosquitoes, better wear a head net

Very nice park with well maintained trails. Fast, friendly, and helpful bike rentals on site. Check ahead if rentals are available, we were there early May and rentals opened last day we were there.

minus one star due to long waiting times at check point kiosk. We bought parking and entrance online. Somebody needs to scan the bar code. We have to wait 30 minutes for that.Beautiful lake and mountains

Experience was great been a very long time with growing up in and around the area

I went to Mont Orford on Canada day! good thing there weren’t many people, it was easy to access the park not much wait.They charge per person and depending which trails you choose, they lead you to a free parking or paying parking. Since we had two dogs with us, we had 2 walking trails to choose from (that allows dogs on a leash)one takes 2 hours ( free parking near by the entrance and the other one 3 hours (you slightly need to go further up and pay parking about $10 more)We chose the Mont-Chauve trail (about 10km hiking up the rocky trail, it tooks us a little more than 4 hours to go up and come down) this trail is not suited for people who has knee problem, it is pretty rocky and steep compare to other trails ive been in the past. Even my two dogs had to jump rocks to rocks (I suggest you take the easiest trail of 2 hours, the lady at the front told us it would be more of a flat surface surrounding the water)If! you are not going there to hike, then just do picnic at the beach, bring your bathing suit and your paddle board, relax all day!The view of the mountains is breathtaking, the water is clean, the bathroom is well maintained. Such a beautiful place to hang out with your family on a sunny dayAfter a long day of hiking my legs were done, make sure you stretch! Dont forget to bring bug spray during wet season, or during summer (tons of mosquitos that won’t you free)

Great place for camping! A real camp site, great for beginners. Easy access to toilet & bath, they're very clean too. We hope we coulve stayed longer

Nice but the trail is just a road not as much fun, but a nice climb.

The indications to go to the Mont-Chauve trail aren’t really clear (we completed the trail l’Étang-fer-de-Lance thinking the Mont-Chauve trail started at the same point, but it doesn’t - we needed to walk through the parking and pass by the dock (where people put their boats to the water) to start the trail). I highly suggest going to the Service Centre to ask directions as this is only how we got to the start of the trail.The Mont-Chauve a pretty hard trail as some parts of the trail are super steep (need some climbing at some parts, especially near the top of the mountain). The employee at the Services Centre suggested us to start by the Flanc Ouest (West) first, then finish with the Flanc Est (East). I too think it was the best way to go, as the West side was steeper and more challenging then the East side of the loop.The more you go up, the more flies there are. Highly recommend bringing a mosquito repellent with you and also, lots of water! When we were this high up, our hands started to swell (and pretty sure our feet too), so make sure you get comfortable hiking shoes with enough room for your feet, otherwise you might get blisters like I did!Overall, it was a pretty nice hike, perfect on a sunny day (not too hot as there’s a lot of trees giving you shade), and the feeling of accomplishment once you’re done is amazing! If you want, there’s also a beach near the Services Centre, so you can go for a swim before or after your hike!
