A summer in the great outdoors with Québec’s accessible and partially accessible trails

For a summer outdoors, what could be better than to explore the parks and trails? To help you plan your outings, we have compiled a list of accessible and partially accessible trails evaluated by Kéroul in recent years.

Of course, the province has much more to offer and we will undoubtedly need to write another article on the subject, but this first one will surely give you the desire to discover the great outdoors of Québec.

Note that for the trails deemed partially accessible, people in manual wheelchairs will require assistance on part of the route. However, those trails may be accessible for a person using a motorized wheelchair.

Have a great summer outdoors!
