Based in the Baie-Éternité, Baie-du-Moulin-à-Baude and Baie-Sainte-Marguerite sectors, a team of park wardens will share their knowledge about the park's many resources and will convey their passion for this natural territory. What is a fjord? How was the Saguenay Fjord created? Why are the waters of the Saguenay so obscure? Are they sand dunes or marine terraces? Which animal species frequent the park? What are the habits of the St. Lawrence beluga? Discovering the territory of Parc national du Saguenay brings plenty of questions to mind. Intended as an essential complement to your stay, the interpretation program, which takes the form of evening talks, theatre activities and guided walks, will reveal the hidden mysteries of this exceptional natural environment.
