Black bear observation

Duration: 3 hours and 30 minutes

Better understand the boreal forest in the span of an afternoon — that’s the experience we offer! Your guide will introduce you to this wild, unique territory, full of secrets passed down from our ancestors, to awaken all your senses.

You may have the chance to observe the black bear (“Okwari” in Mohawk) in its natural habitat. Take advantage of this quiet moment to discover this fascinating animal. The observation will take place from a lookout specially designed for this purpose, in the utmost respect for the animals.

Your afternoon will continue with a complementary outdoor activity. Depending on the weather and availability, this could be a hike, an interpretation activity on musical or Indigenous heritage, or a rabaska canoe ride on Lake Côme.

During berry season, bear presence may vary. Please note that the bears are completely free and in their natural habitat — their presence is not guaranteed. Let nature surprise you!

The activity will end at 4:00 p.m.
