Marais Laperrière Hiking Trails

Duhamel-Ouest, Témiscamingue

The Marais Laperrière is a very rich and diverse living environment. It acts as a filter and sponge on the water of Lake Laperrière by improving its quality and stabilizing its level. Despite its limited territory (53.4 hectares), the Laperrière marsh invites you to discover the diverse environments. At the reception, an interpretation centre with an exhibition allows you to address different themes. Outside, at first, you are welcomed in a living environment too often underestimated: the field. Along a path, this field becomes barren, then forest, to finally open on the marsh. You make a contemplative stop at the observation tower, in search of one of the many animals hidden in the marsh including the turtle, the Le Conte’s sparrow, the European Spotted Owl and the Swamp Owl. The trail invites you to discover the typical deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests of Témiscamingue. On the way back, this trail surprises you by transporting you into an undergrowth formed of impressive ostrich ferns.
