It’s free access to 32 kilometers of marked trails, with a map at each intersection, for snowshoeing, running or hiking, just five minutes from downtown Rouyn-Noranda. There are several access points, including a main one leading to a large parking lot.
These easy trails are located north of Lac Rouyn, on either side of Osisko Creek and east of the bypass road. They offer a wide variety of panoramic views, and some of the best vantage points in the area.
The two-kilometre Bonhommes trail will charm young and old alike, with more than sixty original character sculptures.
Another not-to-be-missed trail attraction is the opportunity to observe the waterfall of Osisko Creek from a 48-foot footbridge at the end of the Mésange trail.
Main parking and trail map: Intersection of Rue Perreault Est and Route 117, east of the bypass
