Mont Durocher Park — Attraction in Sainte-Adèle

SO nice. Won't take you long to get to the summit, took me 13 minutes at a casual pace going straight up and about 8 minutes taking the trail down. If you were to hike all the routes, stopping here and there I imagine you could take up to 30-45 minutes and up to an hour or more if you take more stops. Free parking is a huge plus but its a very small parking lot. You can not park over night. I noticed there was a QR code you can scan to donate to the maintenance of the trails, I'm sure they'd appreciate the generosity but its nice to have the option if you would rather not every time. I found the trail very manageable in the sense of it being smooth ground and not a ton of roots to walk over. The elevation gain on some routes is intense but very physically rewarding. Enjoy! (Note: If you're coming from the city, plan your drive time specifically around avoiding rush hour during the week, but there's not a whole lot you can do on the weekend other than leaving very early in the morning and returning late at night. I headed there from DT around 4:15pm yesterday, hit some expected traffic but once on the Trans-Can it was smooooooth sailing all the way. GPS said 1hr35min. Only took me 52min on return because I left...

Le stationnement est très restreint et limité. Nous avons choisi le sentier Élan (il n'y a aucun nom de mentionné sur la carte), un sentier en pente graduelle nécessitant un effort moyen 🙂😓 sous les arbres de la forêt. Un parcours agréable 😊 et un beau décor.

La végétation est abondante et le sentier est parfois assez étroit 🤨

Malheureusement après un moment nous nous sommes retrouvés dans la ville sur une rue asphaltée. Sans aucune indication.

La carte photographiée à l'entrée ne nous a servie à rien car elle ne comporte aucune info utile et ne mentionne pas les noms des rues🙄😣😫, ni des pistes.

Pour ne pas rebrousser chemin sur nos pas, nous avons du utiliser le GPS de notre cellulaire pour contourner la montagne et revenir à notre véhicule.

Nous n'avons jamais vue d'indication pour revenir dans les sentiers de la montagne. Très déçu de cette 2e partie du parcours. Marcher au soleil sur la voie publique de circulation fut assez épuisant...

Nice park, has an easy route and a hard route. The hard route (yellow and red) gets you there the quickest way to the top (even when stopping to catch your breath), but well worth it to see the summit and view. Has 2 Adirondack chairs on top to relax after you hike. A medium size hiking place,...
