If you plan to attend please review the schedule and contact Jocelyne or Phil with comments. Let us know it there are trails you want to hike or trails you do not want to hike due to difficulty or other reasons.
You can also suggest other trails to be added to the schedule. From this information I will prepare a Tentative Schedule for the event. This Tentative Schedule will be used as a guide only and we will decide day to day which trail(s) we will hike.
To assist in your review I have included a list of the trails in the park and several just outside the park indicating the length, difficulty and location of each.
More information is available on the Gaspesie Park website and on the Alltrails app.
