Pointe-Taillon national park

On the east shore of Lac Saint-Jean, Pointe-Taillon extends into a long, sandy peninsula which forms part of the Peribonka River delta.

A sand bar goes around the edge of the peninsula while in the centre there is a vast peat bog. Ponds, marshes and bogs provide a multitude of aquatic habitats in addition to nearby Lac Saint-Jean and the Peribonka River.

Many animals have made their home in the park. Beavers and moose predominate. It is quite common to see signs of their presence or to come across them by chance on a hike.

Synonymous with tranquillity and relaxation, Pointe-Taillon (Taillon point) will undoubtedly charm you. Who hasn't dreamt of lounging on a gigantic beach, of strolling along it for hours without seeing the end or of watching the sun set from aboard a kayak ? Of bathing in the calm and warm waters of the famous Saint-Jean (Saint John) lake ? Of waking to the soft sound of the waves ?
