This is a National Park near Alma QC, along the shores of Lake St.Jean. beautiful park, great for cycling along veloroute des bluets. Bike rental store is at the Park. Daily entry fees 9-10$. Bike rental is about 30-38$ for 4 hours. Bike path is along the shores. Lots of places to park your bike to rest and swim. No life guards at the beach so please swim at your own risk. Beautiful scenery. kayak rentals available as well..

Loved my camping experience! The campsites are clean equipped with a fire pit and picnic table. If you can get one near the beach, you'll fall asleep to the sounds of the waves. We also rented bikes to get to our campsite and took the opportunity to ride around the park, a must-do!

Fantastic and well maintained park. The beach sand was super soft and the water clean and warm. We camped at one of the no service sites 4km in but they provided free carts to connect to your bikes. The bike trail along the beach is beautiful and seemed endless! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
