Accès nature is an initiative of Parcs régionaux du Québec (Parq), financially supported by the Québec Ministry of Education. Its goal is to make nature more accessible and encourage outdoor physical activity by offering free access to participating regional parks across the province. Nearly thirty regional parks in the Parq network will be available for various outdoor activities. Explorers of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels can enjoy facilities such as cross-country ski and mountain bike trails, hiking paths, and swimming areas—all at no cost.
With Accès nature, breathe the fresh winter air for free. Everyone outside!
