1.
Be
aware
Google
maps
MAY
lead
you
to
the
wrong
entrance.
It
originally
led
us
to
an
atv
path
and
not
the
actual
entrance.
We
met
another
set
of
campers
at
this
entrance
who
were
also
misled
2.
Most
staff
do
not
speak
English.
I
find
this
disappointing
as
a
"National"
park
should
(in
my
opinion)
have
bilingual
staff
to
welcome
both
English
&
French
speaking
visitors.
This
is
the
main
reason
why
we
only
gave
3
stars.
The
park
is
BEAUTIFUL
but
due
to
language
barriers
we
couldn't
participate
or
enjoy
any
of
the
programming
3.
The
new
Curiosity
Trail
for
kids
is
a
750m
natural
play
space
with
a
zipline,
wall-climbing,
rope-course
&
more!
(Pictures)
Every
national
&
provincial
park
should
develop
similar
play
and
learning
spaces
for
kids.
4.
There
are
NO
laundry
services
on
site.
You
must
exit
the
park
&
visit
a
private
campsite
in
Squatec
to
do
laundry.
5.
There
is
a
beautiful
long
beach
with
a
very
wide
and
shallow
shore
for
kids
to
play
safely
in!
The
water
is
cool
along
the
shore
but
warms
up
quick!
6.
Many
long
&
beautiful
hiking
trails.
DISCLAIMER:
As
a
Haudenosaunee
I
find
it
difficult
to
endorse
any
of
the
national
parks.
They
are
indeed
beautiful
to
look
at.
But
the
white-washing
&
erasure
of
Indigenous
peoples
is
quite
honestly
disgusting.
Here
at
Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac
there
are
several
references
to
"Grey
Owl"
and
his
environmental
work...
Using
the
name
"Grey
Owl"
to
reference
this
WHITE
man
leads
visitors
to
believe
he
is
Indigenous,
which
he
is
not.
He
was
a
fraud
who
used
First
Nations
culture
to
further
his
career.
Continuing
to
reference
him
as
"Grey
Owl"
and
not
by
his
actual
name
Archibald
is
a
deliberate
act
to
fool
visitors
into
thinking
Indigenous
peoples/voices
are
included
at
Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac
