Le Trou de la Fée

Take an adventure into the depths of the earth. The Trou de la Fée is a lively experience for the visitor. A pathway goes for 2km along the side of the River Métadetchouane with its rapids, waterfalls and remains of a hydro electric system. All this leads to a cave, carved out of the granite by an ice age glacier.

Beware, this the most northerly show cave on the American continent where few of the French speaking natives speak English. It is also moose country so try not to break down on the long drive north. If making a special trip, telephone ahead to make sure the cave is open.
