Access Issue: HELMETS ARE MANDATORY TO CLIMB - La Conception nature park Details

The FQME membership will no longer offer a discount here and users must pay the 14$ for day use (2021-07-11).
The lac and surrounding areas are now owned by the municipality of La Conception.
The town has had to review its insurance following an incident at another cliff.

Description

Sur la rive nord du Lac Boisseau réside une sublime paroie qui fait face au sud, avec plusieurs voies sport de qualité. Le type de roche is absolument unique dans les Laurenties et rappel le sandstone.

Les routes sont relativement courtes, plusieurs sont légèrement en dévers, et le reste est vertical.

Les couchers de soleil sont superbes, la baignade est rafraîchissante, et il y a au moins 4 sites de camping (payants) qui sont très proches des paroies.

On the north shore of the Lac Boisseau is a sublime south facing little crag, with several high quality sport climbs. The rock type found there is absolutely unique in the Laurentians and reminds one of sandstone.

The routes are relatively short, many are slightly overhanging, and the rest are vertical.

Sunsets are wonderful, dipping in the lake is refreshing, and there are at least 4 (paid) camping sites that are extremely close to the crag.
