Its summit culminating at 980 metres (3,220 ft) above sea level and overlooking the valley of the Rivière du Gouffre is one of the main attractions of the park.

[2] The summit of Mont du Lac des Cygnes is located in the eastern part of the Grands-Jardins National Park, almost at the limit of Saint-Urbain.

The drop between the summit (981 m)[3] and the surface of Lac des Cygnes (320 m), located below, is 660 m. This mountain is delimited between the course of the Rivière du Gouffre Sud-Ouest which passes the valley on the north side, and Le Gros Bras which passes in the valley on the south side.

In 2007, students from the music concentration at Jean-de-Brébeuf high school gave a concert at the top of Mont du Lac-des-Cygnes.

[5] The Mont-du-Lac-des-Cygnes trail in Grands-Jardins National Park is 8.6 kilometres (5.3 mi) long and provides access to the summit.
