Footpath circling the bay of Escoumins
2.8 km (35-minute walk) footpath going around the Baie des Escoumins. Starting from the iron cross erected at the Pointe de la Croix, hikers take the rue de la Croix (towards the north-west); take rue St-Marcellin Est (westbound); take the promenade path that runs along Route 138 and the west shore of the bay; take the pedestrian bridge spanning the Escoumins river; take rue St-Marcellin Ouest up to the bend; take the Véloroute des Baleines to Pointe-Rouge where you can observe the river and marine mammals along more or less the coastline of the bay; take rue du Quai (north-east direction) which becomes the ferry ramp, passing next to the ramp, to the whale watching point at the end of the peninsula.
Viewpoint from the Point of the Cross
