Founded in 1846, Les Escoumins was the first parish in Haute-Côte-Nord. Today, this municipality is the gateway to the eastern sector of the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park. Discover the beauty of the marine life that makes this area one of Canada’s best diving destinations. Whale-watching cruises, observation of marine mammals from the shore, sea kayaking, salmon fishing, a stay in an outfitter camp and snowmobiling are all activities that will immerse you in this natural environment. Discover the scenery around Escoumins Bay by hiking or cycling the Moulins trail and exploring the boardwalk and the Pointe-de-la-Croix historic site. The municipality of Les Escoumins has been awarded two florets by the Fleurons du Québec, a horticultural classification program that recognizes municipalities for their horticultural beautification. Take a detour to Parc des Chutes where you can watch salmon launch their way up the nearby fish pass. In addition, don’t miss the large fresco depicting the transition from freshwater to saltwater—a tribute to the two aquatic environments of this village. A work by artist Claudet J. Savard, this environmental mural can be found in a tunnel that was once used as a flume. Les Escoumins also offers a selection of restaurants and accommodation options. Come and enjoy fresh seafood here.
