In the heart of Charlevoix, the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park is a natural site renowned for the beauty of its steeply sloping landscapes, with valleys cut deep into high mountains. There are many ways to enjoy this magnificent site, whether with family or friends, but one of the most enjoyable is to rent a canoe on the Malbaie River which runs through the park.
