Mini-golf, zip line and giant slides

Mini-golf, a giant inflatable pillow, Néos interactive games, play structures, giant slides, a zip line and a games room: everything is here to create unforgettable memories, for children and grown-ups alike.

Come play, explore and make memories as a family!

Children bouncing on the giant inflatable pillow in La Doré's colours, in front of the forest.

Nature water games

Dive into a refreshing world inspired by the boreal forest! Under the firs, enjoy a soothing fine rain, pass beneath the deer, splash with the sprinkling foxes, play on the slide or let the great jug's downpour take you by surprise.

The water games running: jets, a slide and green structures on the wet plaza.

300 metres through the enchanted forest

A course of roughly 300 m through the enchanted forest with modules to climb, jump, cross or crawl through, surrounded by the small animals of the boreal forest and their interpretation panels.

Length≈ 300 m

Direct access to the bike path

Behind the welcome building you will find a shelter well suited to a snack, a bike rack and a charging station for electric bikes.

The site offers direct access to the bike path linking La Doré to Saint-Félicien, and in 2026 from La Doré to the Chute à l'ours lookout (a magnificent view of the river and the small chutes à l'ours; it is possible to continue to Normandin, but that stretch is not waymarked).

New this year: four electric-assist bikes available to rent.

The Rivière-aux-Saumons trail follows the river of the same name to spectacular viewpoints, among them chute 50 and a natural esker. The route is quite simply magnificent, especially in autumn.

For a family bike outing, head to km 4 and plan a lunch or a snack at the Toit-Rouge shelter.
