Provincial Parks

• Mont Megantic Park - Mont Megantic is crowed by the Astrolab observatory which should give you some idea of the excellent opportunity for star gazing in the park. The Astrolab is accessible by car or you can hoof it along the trail system but be forewarned this is a tough hike. The park has backcountry but no front country camping. There are three separate camping areas in the park Andromede with seven sites (6km from the trailhead), Grande Ourse (3km from the trailhead) with five and Orion with one(5km from the trailhead). You'll have to pack all of your equipment in a backpack or you can also use a mountain bike with panniers. The sites are all located on designated pads with the camping areas situated beside one of the park huts. The Adromede sites are located along a beautiful stream, which surges during the spring, lulling you to sleep or keeping you awake, depending on your personality. There are 50km of cross country skiing, backcountry skiing and (hiking trails in the summer) along with 4 shelters which can be rented year round. In the winter you can rent prospectors tents as well. For expert hikers with a heart, there is a really excellent, 16km hiking trail to the 1100m summit. Some of the trail system is multi-use and mountain bikers can take advantage to this.The park has an excellent snowshoeing trail, which also provides access to the hut system if you're inclined to stay overnight. It should be noted that in the winter the huts are open to skiers and snowshoers during the day, so you have to roll up your gear to allow them access until sundown.
