nice place. we took one of short trails to the viewpoint (actually, there is not one, but a few along the path). Part of the trail u must climb rocks and trees' roots, so be aware. The second part is a nice road through the forest. Be careful - a lot of bicyclists. there is a small beach, from where people go with canoes. maybe there are more beaches, but we didn't look for it. the parking at the entrance costs about 10 cad for each adult.

Lac Stukley is a wonderful place to spend the weekend with family and friends. It has everything you need for a fun and relaxing time—playgrounds for kids, water activities like canoeing, pédalo, kayaking, swimming, and, for those who don’t like to sit still for too long, hiking trails. There’s also a picnic area where you can BBQ, with clean restrooms, changing rooms, and plenty of recycling bins. The kids really enjoyed swimming in the clean, refreshing water, which wasn’t cold at all—a perfect spot for a family dip. I opted for the shortest trail, Fer de Lance, as I didn’t want to be late for my friend and the BBQ. The trail is just 3.5 km and took us approximately 1 hour to complete. The view of the lake were beautiful and peaceful. However, the trail could use better signs; we found it a bit confusing as we ended up going out one side and coming back from another, not realizing it was a loop. The only downside was the rental service for water activities. Our group of 10 arrived just 10 minutes past the final rental hour, thinking they closed at 6 PM (we were there at 4:55 PM), but we were not allowed to rent for even one hour. It was a bit disappointing, as we were really looking forward to it.

I wish they would clearly tell at the booth that parking fee is only if you intend to go the beach area. We didn't get to explore a lot. We only explored the trail called boucle des trois étangs. It's a MUST to pack water and snacks. Our group included toddlers and elderly so it took us at least 3h to complete, as we had to stop a few times. That trail can be done with a baby stroller. Glad that kids can rent back for free, but if not everyone is on bikes, the group would be separated. I was a bit disappointed that no part of that trail had a top view. Also, some cyclists are careless as they speed so much.

Wonderful park and beach. Area close to water gets absolutely packed on the weekends and you need to book parking pass well ahead. Annual sepaq membership does NOT allow access to parking close to the beach, you still need to pay separately. They have weird rule about no large tents or shadow sources on the beach. You cannot use canopy screen or a tent king of setup, only smaller umbrellas. Washrooms are modern and clean, changing rooms are separate as well. Very nice staff speaking French and English fluently.

Loved the hike here. We took the 4 hour hike, which was intermediate level, and finished it in 3ish. The place wasn't overly crowded but the bugs were definitely out. The service station is nice and clean. Definitely recommend 👌
