About

Located in the lower estuary of the St. Lawrence, Bic National Park proudly displays its capes, bays, coves, islands and mountains, emblems of its fame. Think of the sounds and smells of the sea and the caress of the sea wind. Imagine a sunset recognized as one of the most beautiful in the world. The ambiance of the park is relaxing and peaceful. Seabirds, including the common eider, come to nest there, rare plants flower on the rocky capes and, to your great astonishment, seals bask in the sun near the shore. Rub shoulders with the sea, the forest and the meadow located along the banks of the lower estuary of the St. Lawrence, and let yourself be overwhelmed by the unique experience of this coastal-marine park.

EXCEPTIONAL SUNSETThe estuary as you do it have never seen! Whether from Pic Champlain, Baie du Ha! Ha! or from the Havre du Bic, you will have the opportunity to admire a sunset whose beauty is highly recognized and each time unique.

PIC CHAMPLAINPic Champlain, at an altitude of 346 meters, constitutes the highest summit of the Murailles rock massif. From the top of its belvedere, the view of the estuary and the park is breathtaking. You can get there on foot or with the shuttle service.
