A Sépaq park in the Eastern Townships around Mont Orford and Lac Stukely, with trails for all levels, a beach, kayaking and a large campground; camping and beach access are on the pricey side.
Parc national du Mont-Orford covers forest, lakes and rocky peaks near Orford, and reviewers describe it as a beautiful park with trails for beginners through experts, good mountain biking, water activities and some wildlife. Winter brings snowshoeing and skiing.
The campground is large, and one tent family found the sites clean and well equipped, with good washrooms. The cost is the common complaint: that family paid about $95 for a small tent for one night, noting a Sépaq card saves roughly $20. Beach day access for two cost one visitor about $30, and the store has little food, so pack a lunch. Kayaks can be rented.
Staff come out well. One family in the Lac Stukely sector discovered their site backed onto a water treatment plant that hummed day and night and briefly smelled of sewage; staff refunded a night and moved them to another good site closer to the washrooms. It's worth checking your site's location before you book.
Trails get busy on peak fall days, and one hiker found them less clearly marked than at other Sépaq parks, with several people going off trail. Carry a map or app.
