A Guide to Canada's Gaspé Peninsula

"I walked the Evolution of Life trail and toured a museum anchored by an extraordinarily fossil‑rich cliff on the UNESCO World Heritage list, marveling at specimens like the spiny Diplacanthus horridus and other Devonian fossils so beautiful they seemed sculptural." - Nina Caplan Nina Caplan Nina Caplan has been writing about the arts, wine, and travel for over 20 years.

Very interesting visit to this cool fossil museum. The walking tour was pretty cool down to the beach and the museum itself was very informative! Was it worth $24 per person? That could be argued. But you only live once! 😊😊

Not a very big park at all, but what’s nice about it is that there’s a little trail in the woods above the cliff to explain stuff, and the steps down to the beach so you can see the pancaked layers of geologic record very clearly. Come at sunset hour and double your fun with a very nice sunset perspective while you examine the exposed rock cliff for various earth-era strata.

Really cool park! We visited today with our puppy, and did the only pet-friendly trail, l'évolution de la vie. It took us just under an hour with stops to read the information along the trails. It's a very easy trail that follows the water and provides beautiful views! We noticed several birds and even a snake or two along the way! We didn't have the chance to explore other areas of the park, given dogs aren't allowed, but the Main Building seemed to have some cool fossil displays!

Very interesting fossil exhibit-who knew our Canadian shores could unveil such treasures! Took the 3.5km trail along the cliffs also, very pretty.

We really loved our visit to Miguasha National Park. The fossil exhibit is really amazing. We did the walk before the museum because it was going to rain later. If you have the chance to do the museum first it will make the walk that much more special. Right now there are not informational signs along the walk because they are doing updates. Take the stairs down to the lake and search for fossils. Definitely worth the visit!

I am not a big fan about fossils but I give them credit to have 2 ginkgo trees in front of them! For that they ARE qualified for their specialty for ginkgo is the living fossil. They have different prices for different accessibility of their resources. I chose the cheapest one so only had a walk on the beach to admire the cliff and rock. They have a short walking trail and outdoor activities for kids. Their service and activity guide were both in french, I didn’t check if they can speak English. They have a nice cafeteria that offers good clam chowder.

The walk was very nice! Next time will visit the museum for sure. It felt like I was missing some explanations about the fossils :)
