Val-d'Or, Vallée-de-l'Or
Recreational forest
Less than 2 km from the city centre, the trails of the cross-country ski club dominate the undergrowth of the Val-d'Or Recreational Forest. This unique environmental zone is dominated by sand hills sheltering an esker. The network is knitted tight and the many intersections allow you to change direction according to your mood or shortness of breath. With its breathtaking views of the surrounding reliefs, the site is loved by amateurs.

Natural Environment
Geography
The esker is part of a vast glacial moraine (called the Inter-Lobaire Harricana Moraine) that crosses the landscape from the Témiscamingue region to James Bay in the north. Between the butts that form the "esker", there are often depressions or bowls called "kettles" formed by spreading sand around the ice blocks that melted on site. There are two spring lakes formed of "kettles" in the area of our trails, are the lake of the Barbus and the lake Clément.
Flora
Grey pine, the dominant tree in the entire Recreational Forest area, is the only species that grows well on sandy hills. There are also some beautiful stands of white birch and aspen poplar. Black spruce and balsam fir dominate in less drained areas.
