This immense park boasts exceptional rock formations. Along with hiking trails that span over 70 km, the park is home to Québec’s second longest cave with a surface-level entrance and features impressive rock faces used for climbing.
With its decommissioned hydroelectric station, where you can walk through what’s left of the penstock, Portneuf Regional Park is a surprisingly well-kept secret in the area.
