Why spend just one day exploring the vast wilderness of Quebec? Whether you prefer to kick it old school and sleep under the stars in a tent, enjoy the ease of provided essentials or need all the creature comforts of home, Quebec has ample options to stay where you play. With over 7000 campsites including "turnkey" options—also known as glamping—and cabin rentals of both the rustic and elegant variety, the perfect backwoods accommodation is waiting for you.

The view from the middle of the water offers a vastly different perspective of the landscape than the view from land. Pick your favourite way to paddle and take to the hundreds of lakes and rivers that weave their way through Quebec. From leisurely paddles and guided tours to adrenaline pumping adventures, the waterways of this province have it all. And if you find yourself here in winter and are looking for something different to try, check out ice canoeing on the St. Lawrence—an exclusively Quebec adventure.

Whether hiking on a trail through the trees, scaling the outside of a frozen waterfall or repelling down a narrow canyon, getting up close and personal with Quebec’s wilderness is a must for every nature lover. Over 11,000 km of marked and maintained hiking trails wind their way through the province. If you’re looking for a more vertical adventure, the rocky faces of Quebec and frozen waterfalls are waiting for you. Or try canyoning to discover the rugged terrain and hidden waterways otherwise impossible to access.

Quebec is one of the snowiest cities in the world. But a little—okay a lot—of snow is the perfect base for all kinds of adventures. Strap on snowshoes or skis and take in the vast icy views of this frozen wonderland. Or hop on a snowmobile and take to the trails. Fun fact: Quebec has an extensive snowmobile trail network with more kilometres of land devoted to sleds than cars.

Biking in Quebec is an all-season sport and a beautiful to way canvas the mountains and speed through the forests. Specifically designed for riding over snow and ice, the fatbike’s fat wheels help you hit the trails no matter the conditions. Once the snow thaws, hop on your mountain bike and enjoy the sport that’s growing quickly across Quebec. Don’t have the equipment? No problem. Gear rentals are available at select outfitters across the province.
