About our organisation

The International Appalachian Trail-Québec, beginning or ending at Cap-Gaspé in
Forillon National Park, is 644 km long. From Rivière-au-Renard to Mount St. Pierre,
it follows the sea and the mountains, leading from village to village, occasionally
reaching the shore of the St. Lawrence River. From Mount St. Pierre, it heads
towards Mount Jacques Cartier, crosses Gaspé Park to Mount Logan and crosses
the Matane Wildlife Preserve. Then, skirting the Fernald Quebec Ecological Reserve,
it reaches the Matane River and continues on towards Matapedia Lake before
descending into the valley as far as Matapedia.

Starting in 1996, the layout of the trail was coordinated by the corporation
International Appalachian Trail-Quebec (IAT-QC). Many volunteers and organizations
in each region crossed by the trail were involved in all aspects of the project.
