This is not a story for anyone with a fear of heights. Sépaq has unveiled a brand new walkway and lookout at the end of a Quebec hiking trail that offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. The 350-metre wooden path allows visitors to walk along the steep edge of the Pic-de-la-Tête-de-Chien, a 575-meter summit in the Parc national des Monts-Valin.
Sépaq has enhanced the experience at several of its parks and reserves ahead of summer 2022. In addition to a new cliffside lookout in the Parc national des Monts-Valin, the society has also installed new rest areas with stunning views in the Gaspésie region's Réserve faunique de Matane.
