> WHEN YOU GO

Go snow tagging: You have to reserve for a Saturday of snow tagging and it’s available January to late March. It depends on conditions and how much snow has accumulated, so confirm with Parks Canada before 3 p.m. Friday. You can pick a drawing or bring your own. Snowshoeing fees are waived in 2017, but will apply in 2018.

La Mauricie National Park is another 60 kilometres east, toward Quebec City. Get around: You will need a vehicle to get between spots in Mauricie but once you arrive at one, you can use skis, snowshoes, snowmobiles or fat bikes to go exploring. Stay: Both Pourvoirie du Lac Blanc and Hotel Sacacomie offer cosy winter accommodations and nice restaurants. Do your research: tourismemauricie.com, quebecoriginal.com
