Day 3 - Parc National du Saguenay


July 5 is the day of a new discovery. We will explore a new park - Parc National du Saguenay. We'll stay there for 3 nights.
I liked the camping le Bleuvet on the other side of the river, where beluga lives, but it's location is not good for our future plans. So, it will be la Baie-Eternite at the secteur Riviere Eternite. It will cost us $77.00 for 3 nights.
Let's say #74.

How about going for a hike? There are La Statue Trail - 7 km 3-4 hours (intermediate) or Les Caps Trail - 10 km 4 hours (intermediate).

This day we'll spend by driving around Lake St.Jean and visiting the Zoo
2230 boul. du Jardin, St-Félicien.
