Website

Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay is a thrilling and majestic park where nature has deployed colossal forces to create a fjord. A major attraction in Eastern North America and a witness to the movement of the icebergs that shaped this area’s stunning landscapes and mysterious fjord, Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay surrounds the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park for over 100 km (60 mi.) along a series of breathtaking bays, coves and cliffs. The park’s winter scenery is also truly spectacular!

This park offers various lodging options in cabins, glamping units, huts, lean-tos and RV or tent campsites as well as in wilderness campsites for trekkers or kayakers. It also offers various activities, including hiking and trekking, sea kayaking excursions, short cruises on the Saguenay Fjord in a Zodiac or sightseeing boat and via ferrata climbing. Naturalist park rangers also offer interpretive activities in the park. Inquire about these activities!

Souvenirs and clothing as well as discovery and outdoor products are available in the park’s gift shops. Come and visit us!
