Directions to the starting point

From Rouyn-Noranda, take route 391 south (boulevard Témiscamingue towards the Beaudry district. Located 11 km from Avenue Québec, a large parking lot on the right gives access to the main trails 800 m past Chemin Lavigne Ouest.

Transkekékéko: West side to improvised parking by a paved section of the old highway 101, 400 m after the road stop, at the corner of highway 117 towards Mount Kanasuta. 

Parking: Free.

Markage

Signs at the end of trails or intersections indicate the path entrance, and orange, blue, green or red ribbon indicates the way forward.

Geology

The walls of the ramparts were built from glacial sediments about 2 billion years ago. Rocks of different origin are clearly visible, embedded in the clay matrix. The cleavage of conglomerate strata is made in absolutely perfect flat sections. One obtains, either large boulders with a totally smooth face, or plates of variable dimensions evoking sometimes funerary slabs, sometimes slates for schoolchildren of the Neolithic.

Flora

While at the top of the hill it is mainly a shrub vegetation regrowth where pines are most notable, we find below mainly hardwoods, birches, aspens, maples, merisiers mixed with some thujas and spinets. The hill is also surrounded by a great diversity of lichens.

This area has always been spared by forestry and mining companies, as well as urban development, so that it still enjoys a virtually virgin forest cover.

Toponymy

Designation derived from the Algonquin term "Kêkêk" which means hawk.
