Information
 
 
Length: 6.5 km (4 mi) return 
Elevation: 30 - 170 m (100 - 560 ft)  
Significant Features: Acadian forest river canyon, waterfall 
 
 
 
Follow a meandering brook through a hardwood forest to a small waterfall that marks the end of the trail. You are actually in a box river canyon – there is only one way out! Keep a watch out for wildlife – a variety of birds, snowshoe hare or maybe even a moose. Local Acadians know this brook as "Rivière à Lazare". 
 
 
 
For your comfort and safety: 
 
- Do not approach, disturb or feed wild animals. 
 
- Take along appropriate clothing - rapid weather changes often occur on the plateau or along the coast. 
 
- Carry water with you, especially for longer trails, climbs or open barrens. 
 
- Bring insect repellent as black flies and mosquitoes are common all summer. 
 
- Mountain bikes are permitted only where indicated, for public safety and protection of the environment. 
 
- Stay on boardwalks to protect fragile vegetation. 
 
- Do not throw food or scraps along the trails or roads.
