Mont-Bélair Nature Park

Highlight • Natural

Mont-Bélair Natural Park protects one of the highest points in the Québec City region, rising to 485 metres above sea level. The park is known for its rocky escarpments, forests, wetlands, and three small lakes, creating a surprisingly varied landscape within the city limits. Trails lead through quiet woodland, around Lac Alain and nearby marshes, and up to viewpoints overlooking the surrounding countryside. The mix of summit views, wetland habitats, and diverse ecosystems makes this one of the most rewarding natural areas in the Québec City region.

Lake Alain

Highlight • Lake

Nestled beneath the slopes of Mont-Bélair, Lac Alain provides a peaceful contrast to the park's higher viewpoints and rocky ridges. A trail circles much of the shoreline, passing through forest and wetland habitat where beavers, waterfowl, and other wildlife are often seen.

Mont Bélair

Highlight • Summit

At 485 metres, Mont-Bélair is one of the highest points in the Québec City region. Rocky escarpments, extensive wetlands, and mature forest create a surprisingly wild landscape just a short drive from the city, while viewpoints across the Laurentians reward the climb.
