Built in 1967 after a severe drought, the reservoir serves as a backup water supply for the city of Granby. La Granbyenne trail passes between the reservoir and the nearby North Yamaska River, creating a beautiful waterside stretch with open views across the water as you continue around Lac Boivin.

This boardwalk viewpoint along Lac Boivin offers open views across the lake and surrounding wetlands. A few benches make it a nice place to sit and take in the scenery, with good chances of spotting birds and other wildlife on the water. The platform is fully exposed to the sun, so sun protection is recommended especially on warmer days.

Lake Boivin sits at the heart of the Lake Boivin Nature Interpretation Centre and forms part of an important wetland ecosystem in Granby. Fed by the North Yamaska River, the lake’s shallow waters and marshy shoreline attract a wide variety of birds and wildlife. Trails and boardwalks around the lake offer peaceful views across the water and reeds, making this one of the best spots in the park for birdwatching and quiet nature walks. Keep an eye out for ducks, herons, and turtles along the shoreline.

Sugarbush Trail is a short, easy loop in Parc de la Gatineau, perfect for a relaxed forest walk any time of year. The wide, well-maintained path winds gently through maple woods, making it ideal for families, beginners, or anyone looking for a quick nature fix. Benches and picnic spots add to its laid-back feel. It’s especially beautiful in winter, when fresh snow transforms the trail, just be sure to wear hiking boots and bring ice cleats for extra grip.

The Parc Frédéric-Back Trail is a 7-kilometer loop that circles Parc Frédéric-Back. It’s ideal for running and biking in the warmer months, and for cross-country skiing and fat biking in the winter.

This small stream bears the name of the town it crosses. Here, by slightly deviating from the Sucrerie path, one can see it flowing peacefully.
