Visit Forillon National Park

Forillon National Park, on the outskirts of Gaspé, is located on a piece of land called "Land's End," where the Chic-Choc mountain range meets the Atlantic Ocean.

Established in 1970, Forillon is the first national park in Quebec and is renowned for its unique and beautiful natural scenery.

The most notable destination in Forillon Park is the Gaspé Peninsula, the southernmost point of the peninsula of the same name. Words can hardly describe the beauty and solitude of the Gaspé Peninsula; only by standing on the peninsula and gazing out at the vast ocean can one truly appreciate it. Not far from the Gaspé Peninsula is the Percé Rock, shaped like a ship cutting through the waves. Percé is famous for being the world's largest dome-shaped rock formation in the sea. Archaeologists have found the bones of 150 different animal species on the rock, and today it is still teeming with life, especially during the nesting season when flocks of northern ospreys come to nest and lay their eggs. The French poet André Breton (1896-1966) was so moved by the sight that he wrote that the Percé Rock is "a song of hope, renewal, and rebirth."

If visitors want to find a vantage point to admire Forillon Park, there are three options. First is the Cape Gaspé Lighthouse, whose lighting system is fully automatic and solar-powered. The second is the Mont-Saint-Alban observation tower, located on Mount Saint Alban. The third highest point is the Ramsay Fort. The fort was inaugurated in 1942 to protect Canada from attacks by German submarines. Many British warships also docked at Ramsay during World War II. After enjoying a panoramic view of Canada from the fort's summit, visitors can descend to explore the complex network of tunnels. The area in front of the fort offers stunning views and is frequently visited by tourists for picnics.

Forillon Park is also a popular diving spot. The Atlantic waters will challenge even experienced divers. On the other hand, the underwater scenery here is incredibly fascinating. Visitors can spend a whole week just swimming alongside whales, dolphins, or seals as they weave among the underwater mountains. From October to December, you can even go lobster diving. After a day of diving, visitors can light a bonfire on the beach and grill the lobsters they caught themselves.
