The Traversée de Charlevoix

TRAIL CONDITIONS UPDATE – Tuesday, June 30,  2026

Due to recent rains, several sections of the trails are muddy or flooded. Water levels can sometimes exceed ankle depth, so expect your boots to get wet. You can dry them out if staying in a shelter; if camping, bring a spare pair, as outdoor fires are prohibited along the Traversée de Charlevoix.

The section between the Écureuil and Marmotte shelters, at the foot of Mont des Morios, is particularly affected by flooding.

Free geolocated maps available on Avenza are very useful for navigating around the most affected areas. Contact us for download instructions.

These conditions add to the already demanding nature of the Traversée. To prepare properly, check out our recent Facebook post. You will need to  Keep your pack weight down to minimize fatigue, injuries, and the risk of needing evacuation.

Trekking poles and gaiters are highly recommended, especially when carrying a heavy pack.

Logging operations are underway along the first two kilometers past the Coyote shelter. Ensure you are clearly visible to the crews on-site. Trail markers are sparse in this area; Avenza maps will help you find the trail again once you pass this section.

➡Mont du Lac-à-l’Empêche and Du Four trails (Lac-à-L’Écluse sector day hikes): Due to recent rains, several sections of the trails are muddy or flooded.
