$2,500 Snowmobile Tour…read more My son and I did a snowmobile tour with Tyroparc and some friends in January, 2023. We have riden snowmobiles before so I was looking forward to it. The first half hour or so was fine. When we got to a short but steep hill our instructor stopped the tour and told us to go over the hill slowly and not use the brakes on the way down the hill as it can throw the passenger (in this case, my teenage son) off the snowmobile. This was not the first time I've ever driven a snowmobile, so I wasn't expecting any issues. When we went over the hill, we found ourselves headed towards a group of small trees. I tried to turn the snowmobile away from the tree while at the same time not using the brake. I wasn't able to negotiate the turn and we crashed directly into the tree. My son and I were both thrown off the snowmobile. My son was okay, thank goodness, but the impact to the tree left me dazed. I sustained a minor concussion and a strained wrist, as I had put my arm up to block my son from the tree. The snowmobile was totaled, as you can see from the photos. When the guide started up the snowmobile, there was a loud explosion in the engine. Despite my dazed mental state, I was told to drive this dangerous vehicle with my son on the back for several minutes. The instructor said he asked me if I was OK to drive it and apparently I said yes, but I was in no condition to make such a decision. It could have caught fire or who knows what else. When I got back to my hotel, and told my wife what had happened, she asked how we got the snowmobile back to the headquarters, and I couldn't remember. To literally add insult to injury, I had to pay $2,500 for the damage because I signed a waiver saying that I am responsible for all damages incurred. While I do accept some responsibility, my son and I were treated in a very reckless manner by the instructor. He was a nice guy but it was very alarming to my friends and son that I was in no condition to be driving immediately after a heavy impact of a snowmobile into a tree, which threw my son and I off the vehicle. I spoke with several managers from Tyroparc in the weeks after to see if we could come to some sort of compromise about the $2,500 owed, but it had already been billed to my credit card and as far as they were concerned, I was in another country hundreds of miles away, and it was case closed. I understand that most people don't crash into a tree and you probably won't either. But it's also important to know that Tyroparc's instruction before the crash and the assistance after the crash were both in my experience, negligent at best and dangerous at worst. Happy holidays!

Oh, bummer to do this but hafta down my score for this place on account on several inconveniences:…read more 1- You can only book one tent per site at 30$ a night ...u are allowed a 2nd tent on some sites...but hafta pay a whole extra 30$ for it. 2- They charge park access fees (10$/ adult PER DAY) ON TOP of the camping fees (ex: 2 adults for 2 nights of camping plus 3 days access fees = 120$!!! That's unforgivably expensive considering our Ontarian neighbours don't pull this sh*t). 3- You cannot fish off any site or dock or beach...fishing only allowed via boat. So add a boat rental of 30$ for the cheapest for 1 day to ur costs...at this point ur a third of the way to Cuba ... Other than that my previous review still applies: Oh YAY!! What a treat to find such an almost perfect campground so close to home, Québec represent no less: And dog friendly!!!!! Location: Up north in the mountains in the Laurentians just south of Tremblant. Campsites: Such variety!! Fairly private even if u can see ur neighbors. Something for everyone I guarantee it. Rustik camping, trailer camping with services, canoe camping (which include the canoe to get to ur site), treehouses (which include the wheelbarrows to trek ur stuff there), they've got it covered!! We stayed at Bourdon #10 and it was huge (photos)!!! Beautiful view and access to Lac Bonnet (the tinier lake in this park). In fact any of the Bourdon sites were totally nice (site #8 less so because of the layout and #9 less so because of the angle). Bourdon 10 has 2 firepits one of which is right next to the water (which we didn't use because of the wind). It also has a sweet platform of dirt bordered by rocks to pitch ur tent so ur not on an angle. Scenery: This huge awesome campground is surrounded (literally) by many lakes, mountains and gorgeous typical Québec forestry with the largest variety of wild mushrooms you've likely seen anywhere! Weather: Mountain weather, colder and switches quickly to pouring rain. Bring warm gear and lots of water proof stuff, put up a rain shelter stat. Commodities/Accommodations: - DOGS ALLOWED! I do believe there's some petty 2$ charge or sumthin for bringing ur pooch, but it's worth it! Dogs are even welcome on all the hiking trails here!! - Store is also the entrance kiosk with everything you could possibly want: including coffee via Keurig machine! (See photo) All overpriced for what it is but convenient none the less. - Outhouse/ Vault bathrooms as well as full running water/flushing bathrooms; showers; laundry facilities; only ONE area to get drinking water from though and that's all the way at the Pavillion (See photos) - recycling at limited spots, garbage a bit more accessible near each loop: they're the things that look like chicken coops. Prices: see the photos, but also of note they do charge u not only for ur night of camping but also access to the park...so price is pretty expensive per night when u add 2 adults access plus a night of camping, but it's worth it- take advantage of the trails and you'll see what I mean. - Keurig coffees 2$ each for small coffees....but decent and much appreciated! - ice 2.69, 2.99 (plus tax) for cubes or block respectively - wood 10$ per bundle (tax included) crappy wet wood, some bundles bigger than others, but at least 1 bundle per night u stay is included in ur initial costs... We went through 3 bundles in one night and couldn't have a fire the other night cuz of rain. Activities: - So mannnny hiking trails!!! We only did 2 this time (the Sentier des Hêtres which at somepoint u become a walking mosquito buffet and the Panoramique which is quite the work out, soooooo beautiful and worth it, less mosquitos, but still spray!) - Many lakes to fish in (though neither us, nor anyone else we saw fishing in Lac Bonnet caught anything at all over 48 hours of fishing at all different times of day and depths of lake) - Boats to rent for super reasonable prices (photo) - Educational workshops at the Pavillion - A small beach/swimming area, volleyball court, kids parks ...u name it they got it. Wildlife: Saw a bald eagle fly by, plenty of tiny other birds, plenty of small bats in the evening, saw a couple little toads. There was soooooo mannnnnnyyyyy mosquitos, not so much at the camp sites but swarms in some parts of the trails: bring bug spray and use generously!! Otherwise though fairly good bug wise, a few annoying bees but nothing a couple swats can't fend off. (Saw a weasle 2018!) Overall we friggen loved this place so much, will definitely be regulars here and are so happy we discovered this huge secret! I'm sharing it with u all but don't muck it up!! Share the love respectfully!

Was very pushy once I started zip lining I took awhile to climb myself back up to the deck and she would tell me to keep going and to go faster because I'm causing 'traffic' even though this was my FIRST time, and I just learned how to do this 2 mins ago, she told me if I was going to keep going at this pace, that she would have to kick me off the zip lines & so I got off, annoyed and frustrated because I was being pressured to go faster didn't have a good experience here Also the dogs they have for dog sledding are all chained up outside in very small houses, all in mud and tall grass, very sad overall the experience was ok, but i don't recommend

My family and I (son, brother, and cousin) did the junior zoomer course at Acro Nature. It was an…read moreexciting experience for all of us until my son sustained a head injury. We went over the safety precautions with Nicole at the beginning of the course. She was the staff member who was overseeing multiple families doing the junior zoomer course. ONE staff member for multiple families. ONE person. I've done zip lining before in New Zealand and I saw a stark difference with how they handled safety issues and injury that unfortunately happened. My son and I were on our last zone and because there was a lack of specific information on how to properly harness and Nicole was not there as she was most likely with another family, my son suffered a head injury upon impact when he landed. The harness was too high and he most likely hit his head on the carabiner. This last zone was different from the first zone because of the height difference of the zip line thus the placing of the carabiner would be different (but how would we know that without a staff member supervising us). At one point in the middle zone which was a very challenging balancing course, my son called for Nicole several times for help. It took awhile since she was with other families. In New Zealand, a staff member was WITH US AT EACH LANDING ZONE TO PROPERLY HARNESS US. That was not the case here. Nicole was on the ground. I love zip lining but I also didn't feel safe without inquiring with a staff first since all the zones were different. After my son was injured, bleeding, and hysterically crying, I noticed the lackadaisical attitude of Nicole. As a pediatric nurse, I thought this was inappropriate. She asked me TWICE for a tissue that I didn't have. Why on earth do they not have a first aid kit on site?! She kept saying "you're okay, you'll be fine" and used her glove to wipe the blood from his nose. So inappropriate and lacks blood safety precautions! If you see someone bleeding, call the medic already! I HAD TO ASK FOR A MEDIC TO ASSESS HIM. That should've already happened especially with possible concussion. Michel was called in. He adequately assessed him and gave us post-care instructions. Also at the beginning, Nicole told us there was a beehive in one of the zones, under a wooden step. She told us that a girl was stung earlier. It was clearly not closed and we were given an option to go through this zone or not. Another safety issue that they were reckless about. Shouldn't they have closed it to get rid of the beehive? What if a person got stung and had an allergic reaction to beehive? Or anaphylactic reaction? What then? Like I said they didn't have a readily available first aid kit and were irresponsible when an emergency happened. Don't leave it to the customer to HAVE TO ASK for a medic to come. My brother and cousin didn't ever want to do zip lining after their experience here. If you don't have enough staff at each zones why not have WHAT NOT TO DO signs at each zones (especially for first timers)? All this could've been preventable if they had adequate staffing, better safety precautions for harness use, and medically responsible staff who were more proactive. So disappointed with my experience here!
