The 65 miles of the cliff-lined Saguenay River have sustained tour operators since 1849. Below Baie de Ha! Ha! The 800-foot deep river passes a pair of 1,600-foot headlands named Éternité and Trinité. The river winds through a majestic fjord whose breathtaking rocky walls hold their own special fascination. To the north extends a vast wilderness of forests and lakes simply brimming with adventure.
The area also boasts several national parks: the Parc national des Monts-Valin is noteworthy for its 900-m (3,000-ft.) peaks, its magnificent views, and its many rivers and lakes; while the Parc national du Saguenay puts the accent squarely on the spectacular beauty of the Saguenay Fjord. The waters of the fjord are part of the Saguenay―Saint-Lawrence Marine Park, a vast marine conservation area for beluga and other species of whale. There are many ways to explore the fjord: by sea kayak, sailboat, via ferrata or along an aerial ropes course through the forest! Winter and summer alike, the Saguenay region offers up innumerable activities to choose from: hiking, rafting, cycling, off-roading, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dogsledding, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, and much more!
