Located at the northeastern tip of the Gaspé Peninsula and mainly covered in forests, Forillon National Park protects an area of 245 km² (95 sq.mi.) and is home to rich and abundant wildlife, coves where curious seals swim, and striated cliffs where thousands of seabirds nest. In addition, the plant biodiversity of this natural territory includes several protected species.

Forillon also commemorates the peninsula’s rich human history. While the Mi’gmaq have occupied this territory since time immemorial, a few houses on a hillside come alive in the summer to tell the stories of the fishermen-farmers of various origins who lived off cod fishing in Forillon until the park was created in 1970.

Discover the seasonal charms of Forillon’s coastal landscapes, explore trails for hikers of all levels and stay in the park at a campsite or in a unique glamping unit. A visit to Forillon National Park is an opportunity to enjoy authentic moments in harmony with nature along the coast by the sea and on forested mountains.

The Parks Canada Gaspésie Field Unit manages Forillon National Park as well as the Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse National Historic Site and the Battle of the Restigouche National Historic Site.
