Campsite: Jacques Cartier State Park

This was my first time visiting this park and I tried to string the trails together to get one continuous loop. It ended up being roughly 2 miles and change from the parking lot by the beach out and back. Each trail intersection was clearly marked in the woods but I still checked the photocopied trail map they gave me at the entrance station to make sure I was turning in the right direction. I walked clockwise around the trails. However, I think the counter-clockwise direction might be more challenging with steeper uphills, but that's just a guess.

The terrain varied quite a bit from roots to rock to mud to deep sawdust and there were a few steep up-and-down sections. I definitely recommend using hiking or trail running shoes.

There wasn't anyone else out walking so it was a glorious time to be in the woods. There was a little bit of car/truck noise but it was still pretty quiet most of the time. Also, in mid-June, the mosquitoes and black flies were out in force in the wetter areas so don't forget to bring the bug spray!
