Wonderful park with good facilities. If you're camping, bring insect repellent. There may be a lot of black flies. Trails are well marked and the staff are helpful in French and English. Don't miss the tea room and the hike up Pic Champlain.

Must see, must hike. Take the time, and enjoy. Sunset is a must. Take in as much of this landscape as you can, beauty of the province is all around you here. The march to the summit is not for everyone, but well worth for the panoramic splendour.
