arrangements may be made with Demsis to buy bottled water
(18 litres) and have it delivered to the cabin, yurt or campsite.
Parking
The Park’s network of trails is served by several parking lots around the
periphery. The P11 (O’Brien), P16 (Meech Valley), P17 (Wakefield) and
P19 (Philippe Lake Sector) parking lots are the departure points to the
cabins, yurts and campsites. Your choice of departure point depends on
the distance you wish to travel.
Trails
With one exception, all trails are machine-groomed at least once a week.
Trail 56, which links Taylor Lake to the Richard Lake yurt, is usually left
in a natural state to give skiers a back-country experience.

There must be at least two persons spending the night to reserve
an overnight stay. There must be two adults if the group includes
anyone under 18 years of age.
Trails are identified by signs that indicate the trail number and the level of
difficulty. Destinations and distances are posted at most trail intersections.

Anyone who wishes to stay overnight in a cabin or yurt or at a
campsite must pay in advance for their stay.

the Gatineau Park Visitor Centre (33 Scott Road, Chelsea), which

acknowledges that you accept full responsibility for your own
safety during your stay in the Park, and that you are aware of the
