Drove down from Montreal a 11:30 and got there around 1pm. Nice little town, had. Lunch and went to the park.we were 3 adults, we took our time, took pictures, walked over the longest Suspension bridge, I thought it was longer in my head but quite safe to walk over, nice views.easy paths to follow, nice lookouts along the way and benches and water fountain s. Will go back another time to see the illuminated forest as I am sure it will be nice to see cost is $14.50
Night walk was a wonderful sight and sound experience. Would definitely return. Liked the suspended bridge, the magical forest. Only thing I would like to see are brochures containing pics of the spectacular trail
This is a beautiful park. You walk above a canyon on a suspended bridge. You get to climb a tall tower where the view of the surrounding mountains and hills is fabulous. There is even an old hydro plant on the trail. Fun for all ages as long as you are very mobile on your feet.
It's such a beautiful place to walk. You're in a forest, you get to walk the highest suspended bridge in Canada. It's an amazing walk in nature, near waterfalls and trees. There two observation towers and a campaign ground not to far. At the end of the summer until October they light up the trees during night time. The best thing to do after walking is grabbing an ice cream at the Coaticook factory. Delicious ice cream! Enjoy!
Went as a group during a day hike but also for the foresta lumina, absolutely loved both. The day hike is low-medium in terms of intensity. The path for the foresta lumina a night seemed of lower intensity. It's basically laterns and light decorations throughtout the forest with a story. Sound effects are also part of the show. The tickets for the daytime and night time are seperate. There is a presale for the night time but only a limited amount of tickets available. We weren't able to get the pre-sale tickets, therefore we had to wait quite some time (~2h30) at night tomget tickets.Make sure to bring a sweater, although it is very hot during daytime, it gets chilly at night.Pack some snacks and sandwiches. I didn't see many restaurants around.Parking is available at no cost.
Fun to do with the family , the longest bridge was great to see would have like to know that you can repelle it ,,,
Stayed on Sept 4th 2014 overnight.This place is definitely for the outdoor amateurs. Walking, trekking, biking and along these routes information on the history of this beautiful Place & Town. The Gorge is fascinating and the bridges and trails are safe & well maintain yet respecting nature. Highly recommend as a place to stop before going into the USA or coming back from the USA. This place will energize you. We also camped overnight, wanted to stay longer but we didn't reserve & they were completely booked for the RV's sites.
The park features a trail that goes through a long, high bridge and a gazebo where it is possible to appreciate the forest of the region. The scenery is very beautiful and as we were in full autumn color.
We heard Coaticook was a victim of their success with a sold out situation for most of the summer. We visited the magical forest in October with our 3 nephews and we all loved it. This is beyond a light & sound show. The special effects are amazing.Since we stayed at one of the "refuge" in the park, we were within walking distance of Foresta Lumina. Had fun making our way with our head lamps on.The next day, we walked the park - the fall colours and the view were beautiful.And of course... we had to have a taste of the great Coaticook icecream. Delicious.
Very nice loop trail. Has a good amount of elevation changes, so be prepared! Focal point is one of the longest (or is it the longest?) pedestrian suspension bridge in the world.
