You’ll need a beat-up 4x4 when traveling the unkept back gravel roads of Quebec. Large pot holes, rocks and wash-board gravel roads are your beloved path west of Sheenboro, to the Oiseau Rock Hiking Trail. A small $12 entry fee at the check point to the “ Z.E.C “ which stands for ‘Québec’s zones d’exploitation contrôlée area’. The road to the small parking lot is steep and washed out as well. But don’t be discouraged, the actual walking trail to Oiseau Lake is totally worth the rustic drive to this beautiful Quebec hidden oasis. Mind you, you must wear proper hiking gear. Especially proper foot wear. Tons of biting mosquitoes and buzzing insects, including black flies and horse flies. Bug jacket and head cover is a good option. Bug spray doesn’t cut it in the back woods of Quebec. Rumour has it the provincial bird of Quebec is the mosquito. The trail is a mix of intermediate to difficult terrain. The trail length seemed farther than we anticipated. The trail is a good 4km one way and obviously, 4km back. This rare raw nature hike is a great workout, rewarded with a nice refreshing swim in the mountain top lake, picnic at the famous Oiseau Rock lookout and hike back. Bring a backpack full of water and picnic food. It gets dark quickly so don’t venture out passed 5pm. Highly recommend the trip to explore ‘Sheen County’. To be honest, for those not crazy about hard core hiking, the Ottawa River boat ride to the base of Oiseau Rock beach, and the short trail to the summit, is by far the easiest way for the non-energetic general public, including children, to enjoy the view and lake at the top.

Intermediate level hike. Good chance to see wildlife you WILL not see near a city. Mountain lake with Tarzan rope.

Short and fairly steep hike from water to the top of the cliff. Perfectly clear spring feed lake at the top. Nice beach at the trailhead.

Amazing trail that brings you through various rich ecosysytems , lookouts, and historical interpretation points ending with a incredible view overlooking the Ottawa river and the Rocher à l'Oiseau .
