Askikwaj Ornithological Forest is less than 30 min. south of Amos proper, near La Corne. While it doesn’t have onsite camping, the forest features two looped hiking (or snowshoeing) trails. Panoramic View Trail is a beginner-friendly loop that takes less than an hour to hike, and true to its name, it offers panoramic views of the forest, hills, and nearby Lac Malartic and Lac Baillairgé. Campers looking for a bit more of a challenge should hike Bird Trail, a longer trail flanked by over 70 birdhouses. You can also explore different options for camping near Amos on Hipcamp.
