Lac Beauchamp Park

Lac Beauchamp Park

Lac Beauchamp Park in Gatineau, Quebec Canada is a large wooded park of 1.72 km² built around a small lake in the middle of the suburban sprawl of the eastern part of the city. In the winter it has 15 km of ski and snowshoe trails. The lake also has a snow cleared skating area. In the summer the lake has a supervised swimming beach and canoe rentals. The ski trails are then used by amateur naturalists, hikers and bikers.

The park is located about 10 km East of the downtown core of Gatineau and is thus easy to reach from Ottawa by any of the main bridges.

The city offers several recreational activities in and around the park chalet, and several groups use the building and the nature preserve around it for their activities. This includes Ornithologists as well as entomologists and garden lovers.

There is an annual sand sculpture competition on the beach.
