Opémican National Park Hiking trails, Opémican Point area

Témiscaming, Témiscamingue

It is difficult to remain frozen in front of such a beautiful territory.
The Opémican National Park has the essential elements to compose a remarkable landscape: rugged and low relief accompanied by many rocky walls that are mainly inserted along the Témiscamingue lake. Here, nature and culture come together to offer you a privileged contact with an exceptional natural environment. While the Discovery sector of Pointe Opémican is the family destination par excellence, the Kipawa River Adventure sector knows how to please lovers of great nature.
