Roche du millénaire Snowshoe trail
Roche du millénaire Snowshoe trail
Preissac, Amos Région
The La Roche de Preissac trail winds through the boreal forest. You will see several geological phenomena, explained by interpretive panels. Other panels provide information on the plant species present. The trail then climbs up a hill, from where you have a view of the forest and lakes in the area. On the way, you can catch a glimpse of the inukshuts' snow and get familiar with this symbol. A small ornithological trail allows you to learn about the birds of the territory, especially on the flights of partridges and the peregrine falcon. The highlight of the route is the Rock, a 250-ton erratic block, an ancient segment of the mountain torn off and deposited there by the melting of a glacier. You continue your walk on the path of the spring where a small water source flows in summer.
