Récré-eau des Quinze Snowshoe Trails

Angliers, Témiscamingue

This group of five communities offers visitors the opportunity to walk in a watershed. The route was already used by Aboriginal people. Today, the power stations are joining the walking trails. Each of the trails is marked by a body of water in addition to the many viewpoints from which you can enjoy the scenery.
