Mont Tremblant Provincial Park
|
|
Mont Tremblant, the highest peak in the Laurentians (960 m (3151 ft)) and about 150 km (93 mi.) north of Montréal, is at the heart of the Mont Tremblant Provincial Park, a particular favorite with visitors in the Indian Summer when the leaves change color and for its skiing in winter.
Established in 1894, the park and nature reserve covers about 3200 sq. km (1235 sq. mi.). It has two well-signed trails, and camping and canoeing is allowed.
The mountain owes its name to the roar of the rushing streams, sounding like the boom of an earthquake to the Indians. The park's wildlife includes deer, black bear, moose, lynx, otter, mink and beaver.
