    Hiking

    The Rapides des Hêtres bring a lively burst of white water to the Saint-Maurice River, stretching for around 800 metres. Their name, used since at least the late 1800s, comes from the beech trees once noted on a nearby mountain. From here, you have a view of the rapids out in the river, but the best view is from Île Anselme-Fay, which you can access via a nearby bridge.
