Surprising wildlife in the surrounding outdoor centres, stunning larger-than-life animal sculptures in the downtown sector of Granby, and of course, the unmissable Zoo de Granby.

Such Peaceful Nature so Close to the City

Parc national de la Yamaska

Ice fishing with the family on the Reservoir Choinière? Riding a fatbike under the forest canopy or around the Reservoir on well-groomed trails? A family outing snowshoeing on 21 km of trails? Heading down the tube slide hill a few times? A one night (or several nights) stay in a rustic shelter or in one of the five full-equipped chalets? Yes, all this is possible at the Parc National de la Yamaska! Pay attention! The park is home to some surprising wildlife. If you’re lucky, you might even play a little hide and seek with a few deer here!
