Chalet d'accueil du Cap-Saint-Jacques

It was okay, nothing more. Too many closed trails. Straight 'tractor' trails 👎... Too much paved (trail?). No old growth trees. Too much $ to park for 2 hrs. Better with fall foliage ?

Rather nice outdoor activity space on the West Islands which we did a summer venture, hiked a bit of it but doubled back to grab our mountain bikes out for an expanded enjoyable tour with plenty to see. You can walk, jog or tour with kids and trails were clearly marked with plenty of rest spots along the river banks with social picnic tables located for use along with out-house styled washrooms available thru out the journey. Getting to see a working agricultural farm with livestock that one could peruse was also a tremendous treat. We will be back.

Wonderful park with different hikes all year long. If you come early in the morning you're almost alone, weekends are very busy. Trails are running from 2, 3, 5 & 10km. You can combine various trails just to your personal level.

Great spot to check out maps, use washroom, get water, rent skis. Clean.

Disappointment, no fire in the fireplace. If no children with or without access to a fire place, which their parents are forbidden from using, are denied the pleasure of the smell, warmth, light show, knowledge of source of heat, is very sad. No exceptions to the rule is ridiculous. I bet that many of the administration who "dictate these laws" have experienced fire places. Also I will assume most of them have the means to convert to gas & continue to enjoy their fire places on a regular basis.
