Parc Récréo is everyone’s park, since it is located on public land. It is maintained and managed on a volunteer basis by several partners who, together, are moving in the same direction.
Its territory, made up of mixed woodland, is characterized by the presence of the yellow birch maple grove. There are also waterfalls and cascades. Hiking enthusiasts have access to some 20 kilometers of marked mountain trails, in addition to the National Trail that crosses the Park from east to west. Magnificent vantage points and 2 wooden belvederes offer views of the surrounding mountains and lakes. A must-see during your visit to the Parc récréo de Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc: an amphitheatre built right into the heart of the forest, with a performance stage and benches at the foot of an impressive rock face.
Access to the park and parking lot is on Chemin Saint-François, less than a kilometer from the gates of La Mauricie National Park. There is no reception building, and access is free at all times.
There are no on-site restaurants or accommodations, but several tourist establishments located in the Municipality of Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc, just a few kilometers away, will be delighted to welcome you!
