Two sections of Quebec’s National Trail pass near the motel. The easiest, the Iroquois trail, follows Iroquois Creek and its falls, 6 km from the motel.
For keener hikers, the Route des Zingues (13 km from the motel) winds between Gagnon and Preston lakes: one of the most beautiful sections of the National Trail, according to Tourisme Outaouais.
