La Vigilance Trail; 1.5 km (1hour) easy
Discover this park’s place in the colourful history of northern aviation and the history of Remi Lake as a base for floatplanes in the 1920s, when aviation was in its infancy.
Spruce Lowland Trail: 1.6 km (1 hour) easy
This trail offers a great opportunity to explore the Boreal Forest, passing through stands made up of Black Spruce, Balsam Fir, Trembling Aspen or Poplar and White Birch. These are common trees of the Boreal Forest, but the trail also passes through a stand of Black Ash growing in moist and poorly drained soil, which is found at the northern tip of its range and is uncommon here. The trail passes a very old spruce bog, with a range of wetland plants that thrive there, like Sphagnum Moss, Labrador Tea and Tamarack trees.
