Parc national d'Aiguebelle

Our nephew visited us for two weeks in July. One of the highlights was Parc national d'Aiguebelle, a national park about 8 hours from Montreal. It has a series of 80 connected lakes.

We stayed in a secluded little cabin on a lake. Our cabin was the only one on the lake. It was named L'Amiral after the butterflies that called the lake home.


We all saw a fox - who posed for us. We watched the busy beavers ... and, wow, are they destructive.K saw a black bear and an unidentifiable animal - neither stuck around long enough for her to get the camera out. And, while the park has a very high concentration of moose, we did not manage to see one. Next time.


We very much enjoyed the hikes, overlooks, suspension bridge, rabaska, and kayaking. Pictures can't quite capture how majestic the park was - but here's a try.

We will definitely be back!
