Arbraska Laflèche

About Arbraska Laflèche

Arbraska Laflèche is a year-round outdoor adventure park nestled in the forests of Val-des-Monts, Quebec, about 45 minutes north of downtown Ottawa. The park is built around Caverne Laflèche, the largest tourist cave on the Canadian Shield, with over 12,000 years of geological history. Above ground, the park offers ziplines soaring over a turquoise lake, aerial obstacle courses through the treetops, and North America's largest outdoor trampolines.

The park is operated by The Trekking Group, which has invested $2.6 million in new ecotourism experiences including the uplå trampoline park and upcoming attractions.
