Bas-Saint-Laurent by snowmobile is one long lookout from the Appalachian Highlands, offering a series of magnificent views of the St. Lawrence and its islands. From Kamouraska along the flats of Rivière-du-Loup to the mountains of Le Bic, each local trail leads you to a picturesque village and reveals yet another spectacular seascape.

How to get there

Bas-Saint-Laurent snowmobile trails are accessible from Gaspésie (TQ5), the state of Maine (trails #544 and #561), the province of New Brunswick (TQ85 and trail #35) and the region of Chaudière-Appalaches (TQ5 and trail #35).

Rivière-du-Loup is an amazing gateway for snowmobilers from the Maritime provinces, the United States and even regions to the west such as Ontario. The town centre is easily accessible by snowmobile and a great starting point for several different snowmobile rides.

What to see

Bas-Saint-Laurent is a land of many lakes and forests. The Parc Linéaire Monk and the Petit Témis Interprovincial Linear Park, both of which follow former railway beds, will take you from one end of the region to the other, along the shores of immense Lake Témiscouata and mysterious Lake Pohénégamook. White-tailed deer can easily be observed in Pohénégamook, where they come to feed every afternoon.

Depending on your itinerary, you can explore the highlands of Bas-Saint-Laurent or go into town centres such as Rimouski and Rivière-du-Loup, where you will be warmly welcomed and find all the services and amenities you need for an enjoyable stay.
