Pointe-de-l’Islet trail

Located near the Centre d’Interprétation des Mammifères Marins in Tadoussac, the trail winds along a peninsula jutting into the mouth of the Saguenay River. The 1 km loop can be completed in around 20 minutes. It offers sweeping views of the fjord and the St. Lawrence River. It’s the ideal spot for a picnic on the rocks and for watching minke whales, belugas and seabirds. Interpretation panels along the trail tell you all about the history of the site and the life of marine ecosystems.

Access

From Route 138, turn right onto Rue des Pionniers, then right onto Rue du Bord de l’Eau. Drive down to the end of the street (approx. 600 m). Before the marina, there’s a parking lot. You can access the path via the stairs on your right; or continue to the second access on the right of the dock.
