Eastern Canada July

Algonquin Provincial Park is beautiful and worth seeing, and not too far from civilization either. I’ve only canoed there, but there is a trail system as well. There will be lots of mosquitos in July but should be past black fly season.

Maybe something in the Charlevoix region, where you could combine hiking, whale watching, paddling, and chillin’.  Mosquito warning, though…

OTOH, just stay in Montreal and walk around, visit the sights, practice your French, eat lots of great food — and in July, there are probably going to be at least a couple of different festivals happening.  Tons of quirky neighbourhoods to explore (urban hiking), lots of bike trails (rent one), or paddle on the St. Lawrence river.  It’s a kickin’ city, and I can’t wait to go back.  (Forever)

I’m am soooo glad you started this thread. I am going to be in the same area early to mid August. Looking forward to what replies you get, and maybe a post-trip report (hint hint).

Well, Charlevoix looks pretty cool.

Algonquin not, looks like where I live (Georgia)

Gros Morne, too far for this trip.

So its Charlevoix vs Cape Breton….thoughts? :)

Cape Breton is pretty far — or were you going to fly there?  Driving means you’ll lose a day each going/coming…

And remember, wherever you go in the Quebec boonies in early-mid July:  mosquito warning!  (Don’t say we didn’t warn ya! :^) )
