Parc National du Bic

The Parc National du Bic was first established in 1984, and covers 33.2 square kilometres. Located near the villages of Bic and Saint-Fabien, southwest of Rimouski, it is home to large populations of harbour and grey seals.

The park showcases the capes, bays, coves, islands and mountains that have made it a popular tourist destination. Thousands of seabirds including common eiders come to nest in the park, and rare plants bloom on the rocky capes, and seals bask in the sun near the shore. There are wooded areas and meadows along the banks of the estuary.  The park has 25 kilometres of trails for hiking trails, another 15 kilometres of trails for mountain biking, and numerous lookouts from which you can admire breathtaking views. A pleasant way to spend the afternoon is by taking a walk around the peninsula. The extensive programme of activities includes sea kayaking, guided hikes, wildlife observation, theatre, talks and evening activities.

Like most of the region’s parks, it is managed by the Société des Établissements de Plein Air du Québec (SÉPAQ).
