    Lots of birds , the wooden ramp is a long walk to the view point. You can feed the birds. They come to you. Have some patience, plenty of parking in and around, clean toilets at the entrance.

    We arrived at 19:30pm and it was perfect because not to much people were there. It is nice to walk, take pictures and watch the river while breathing nature. It's possible to go to the beach and even go into the river but it isn't big.

    Absolutely beautiful. Well worth the visit. It is child and wheelchair friendly. The end of the boardwalk is a short walk but if you take your time, you can certainly spend over an hour and enjoy the birds and wildlife. Their are picnic tables along the walk if you want to take a break!

    We stopped by the Tourist info building right off the bridge on 132 and D they informed us the Eco Park was open and is free. What a gem with clean washrooms and a 1.4 kilometer boardwalk above the wildlife sanctuary where the birds are singing joyfully, happily. (reference to Supertramp) . The walk is in full sun as well as shaded areas. Then to top it off it had a 3 level tower overlooking the St Laurent Fleuve, aka river. What a view as there were ships passing as well as 2 eagles near the shore having an argument. We couldn't see who won but fun to watch nature doing what it does. If your ever in the Trois-Riviere area , don't forget to stop by here for an hour, it's worth it ! Michael & Marina touring La Belle Province.

  • 5/5 Negar J. 2 years ago on Google
    So beautiful and unique! Very serene and clean place. It is small and only one trail but worth it! We went to Sainte-Ursule first for a hike and to see the waterfalls, and then went to this place which was 40min away. The sounds, colours… just gorgeous. And beautiful sunset on the beach!

  • 5/5 Antoine Gaudreau S. 3 years ago on Google
    It's pretty crowded but worth the visit. The loop is quite muddy so make sure you're dressed for it if you're planning to do it, though the boardwalk is the main attraction.

  • 5/5 John K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very peaceful place, tons of birds and an easy walk for children and wheelchair accessible. Nice views from the tower and along the shore.

  • 5/5 Faria Z. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 LZ 1 year ago on Google
    Small but neat place. Boardwalk to the river. Lot of birds. You can feed birds, and they literally stand on my palm to eat. Rest room is very clean. Parking area is small.

  • 5/5 Paden B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very pretty and calming. Lots of birds and nature. With how quiet and peaceful it was it felt so sacred. The walk is not long at all, only 10 minutes or so depending if you stop to watch the birds. The tower at the end was a perfect spot to watch the river and see the boats go by. Definitely worth a stop.

  • 5/5 North of B. 1 year ago on Google
    Short but nice. You can see birds up close because people feed them. They can land on your hand. Nice clean boardwalk, big lookout structure. It's possible to go down to water's edge / beach in summer. Free entrance.

  • 5/5 Victor H. 6 months ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) It's a beautiful place, very refreshing. The treated wood walkway with a pik nik tables is very long, but offers beautiful views of nature. At the very end, when you reach the water's edge, you have a beautiful 3-storey belvedere, allowing different views of the river. You can also go for a walk on the water's edge and enjoy the fresh river air. (Original) C’est un bel endroit, très ressourçant. La passerelle en bois traité avec des tables a pik nik est très longue, mais offre des beaux points de vue sur la nature.

On peut également aller se promener sur le bord de l’eau et profiter de l’air frais du fleuve.
