| Information |  Length: 6.5 km (4 mi) return Elevation: 30 - 170 m (100 - 560 ft) Significant Features: Acadian forest river canyon, waterfall  Follow a meandering brook through a hardwood forest to a small waterfall that marks the end of the trail. You are actually in a box river canyon – there is only one way out! Keep a watch out for wildlife – a variety of birds, snowshoe hare or maybe even a moose. Local Acadians know this brook as "Rivière à Lazare".  For your comfort and safety: - Do not approach, disturb or feed wild animals. - Take along appropriate clothing - rapid weather changes often occur on the plateau or along the coast. - Carry water with you, especially for longer trails, climbs or open barrens. - Bring insect repellent as black flies and mosquitoes are common all summer. - Mountain bikes are permitted only where indicated, for public safety and protection of the environment. - Stay on boardwalks to protect fragile vegetation. - Do not throw food or scraps along the trails or roads. - Read "Keep it Wild, Keep it Safe" brochure, available at park visitor centres. |
