Adventurers flock to Carleton-sur-Mer to hike the highest Canadian peaks of the Appalachian Mountains, experience the alpine tundra, observe wildlife, kayak or stand-up paddle in pristine lakes, fish for salmon, and enjoy regional gourmet cuisine at the park's hotel restaurant. The town also offers biking trails, a network of hiking trails, sailing and boat charters, a swimming beach with a boardwalk, and a municipal campground that sits out on a peninsula with sites set just steps from the beach.
