This 8.5 km loop offers numerous views of the region’s characteristic landscapes. The route begins at the west entrance of the Cabouron Trail and climbs steadily to a first lookout about 2 km in. In this rocky area, you can admire a stand of jack pines nearly 75 years old, their slow growth on exposed rock giving them shapes reminiscent of bonsai trees. The trail then remains on higher ground, revealing sweeping panoramas over the fields, tidal flats, and the St. Lawrence River before beginning its descent around kilometre 3.5. The return follows the rang du Mississipi, completing this remarkable winter hike.
Snowshoes, crampons, and poles strongly recommended.
