Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park

The Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park (French: Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie, pronounced [paʁk nɑsjɔnal de ot ɡɔʁʒ də la ʁivjɛʁ malbɛ]) is a provincial park in the Charlevoix region of Quebec, Canada.

[2] This provincial park is represented by a deep valley in high mountains with steep walls over 800 meters (2,600 ft) in height.

At the heart of this valley, whose walls can reach up to 800 metres (2,600 ft) in height, flows the Malbaie River, frequented among others by the Sea Lamprey as well as by the Atlantic salmon.

On these trails, hikers can reach the top of the Montagne des Érables, the highest summit in the park, at an elevation of 1,048 meters (3,438 ft).

[9] The 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) bike trail takes visitors through the gorge along the Malbaie River, while a short hike leads to the chute du Ruisseau Blanc (White Stream Waterfalls) 45 meters (148 ft) high, which is fed from one of the many high altitude lakes and suspended valleys.
