Grandes-Coulées Regional Park

Grandes-Coulées Regional Park is a protected regional nature park in Centre-du-Québec spanning Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, Plessisville, and Villeroy. Created as an outdoor destination to make local natural areas more accessible, it opened in 2011 with five activity hubs, including an old-growth forest, a large peat bog, and an information center in Plessisville. Its two main sectors cover 30.97 square kilometres, most of it peat bog, with the rest in forest. Trails, boardwalks, shelters, and interpretive facilities support recreation and nature observation, while the Great Bog is especially valued for wildlife. Free admission reflects its dual role as protected landscape and public recreational space.
