View Point Saint-Urbain
A roadside pull-off in Saint-Urbain, Charlevoix, Québec, with a wide view over the surrounding mountains, a bench and a portable toilet. A good lunch stop on Route 381.
What visitors say
This small viewpoint in Saint-Urbain looks over a sweep of Charlevoix mountains. One visitor picked out Mont Dufour. It sits on Route 381, the mountain road between Baie-Saint-Paul and Saguenay that passes Parc national des Grands-Jardins, and reviewers describe the drive as a bit wild.
Facilities are simple: a small parking area, a bench you can stand on for a better angle or photos, and a portable toilet. It's a place to pull over for ten minutes, or a little longer if you stop for a picnic lunch.
There isn't much more to it, and that's the appeal. The reviews are almost all positive and very short, and nobody reports any real problems. The lot is small, so expect to wait briefly for a spot at busy times.
