23.7 km² park featuring a mosaic of natural environments, diverse plant and animal species, Oka Calvary...
As you travel through Oka National Park, you'll discover a mosaic of natural environments. Animal and plant species abound. The historic presence of the Oka Calvary is also an important heritage asset (a project to enhance the site and buildings has been carried out). The historic trail features a Way of the Cross punctuated by four oratories and three chapels dating back to 1742. The top of the calvary offers a breathtaking view of the region. Choose from a wide range of activities all year round. The Grande-Baie trail crosses four different ecosystems: the field, the hickory maple grove, the silver maple grove and the marsh. A floating footbridge of impressive dimensions facilitates access to the marsh. A 10-metre-high tower has been erected to observe the marsh's inhabitants.

L'accès au sentier de randonnée est payant. Il s'agit d'un tarif par personne (9,95 $ pour les adultes et un peu moins pour les jeunes). Le parking est assez grand, ce qui ne devrait pas poser de problème, sauf lors d'une journée d'été très chaude (nous avons visité le site à la mi-novembre, le matin, et c'était relativement calme). Le sentier suit essentiellement un circuit autour de la montagne, avec un sentier au sommet qui offre une belle vue sur le parc d'Oka, le terrain de camping et la rivière. Le circuit total est d'environ 6 km avec divers sentiers interconnectés. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'un sentier de niveau débutant-intermédiaire avec quelques pentes raides, mais autrement assez simples. Dans l'ensemble, c'est un beau parc relativement proche de la ville et qui mérite une visite. Bonne visite !
