Amazing, well maintained area with a beautiful view of a brown water river.
Beautiful site, easy hike trail.

Excellent free two-person tour at opening time! Very knowledgeable local tour guide. Photos not allowed these days 😞
This interpretation center is not only a “don’t miss”, it is a destination! It is comprehensive and well designed. Thank you Guylaine for a fabulous tour.
(Translated by Google) Guylaine is a true storyteller, very passionate and interesting. The place is a “must” if you come to Port-Cartier to understand the history of the region. Unfortunately, the interpretation center is a little dated and not very interactive. In addition, there is very little or no information and context on the First Nations, we only have the “colonizers” perspective. Finally, it’s a shame we can’t take photos. (Original) Guylaine est une véritable conteuse, très passionnée et intéressante. L’endroit est un « must » si vous venez à Port-Cartier pour comprendre l’histoire de la région. Malheureusement, le centre d’interprétation est un peu vieillot et peu interactif. De plus, il y a très peu ou pas d’information et de contexte sur les Premières Nations, on n’a que la perspective « colonisateurs ». Enfin, dommage qu’on ne puisse pas prendre de photos.
(Translated by Google) An extraordinary guide, named Guylaine, a native of Port Cartier, who has her own history and a love and pride in her history, and a desire to share it. The exhibition is the story of these builders and workers from yesterday to today. Well done Guylaine.... (Original) Une guide extraordinaire, du nom de Guylaine native de Port Cartier, et qui possède son histoire et un amour et une fierté de son histoire, et un désir de la partager. L'exposition est l'histoire de ces bâtisseurs et travailleurs d'hier à aujourd'hui. Bravo Guylaine....
(Translated by Google) Great exhibition on the history of Port-Cartier, from the founding to the economic activities of wood, iron and cereals (I learned that cereals from western Canada, passing through Montreal, are transported internationally via Port -Cartier or larger boats than in Montreal can dock). (Original) Super exposition sur l'histoire de Port-Cartier, de la fondation aux activités économiques de bois, fer et céréales (j'y ai appris que les céréales de l'ouest canadien, passant par Montréal, sont acheminées à l'international via Port-Cartier ou des bateaux plus gros qu'à Montréal peuvent accoster).
(Translated by Google) An unmissable detour when passing through the region. A warm welcome and an exceptional guided tour from a guide who is passionate about her region and its history. WELL DONE (Original) Un détour incontournable lorsque l'on passe dans la région. Un accueil chaleureux et une visite guidée exceptionnelle d'une guide passionnée de sa région, de son histoire. BRAVO
(Translated by Google) I loved! The whole family really liked it! Bravo for the presentation. Very interesting! The host was excellent. (Original) J'ai adoré! Toute la famille a beaucoup aimé! Bravo pour la présentation. Très intéressant! L'animatrice était excellente.
(Translated by Google) A visit to absolutely repeat because there is so much richness to nourish the spirit of the past of this beautiful region... (Original) Une visite à refaire absolument car tellement de richesse à se nourrir l'esprit du passé de cette belle région...
