The Marais de la Rivière-aux-Cerises is a natural gem located in the heart of the city of Magog. This exceptional ecosystem is characterized by its biodiversity and ecological importance. Whether for a hike, a visit to the exhibitions at the Espace muséal – Desmarais Interpretation Center or a nautical excursion, the Marais offers an immersive and enriching experience for all those who visit it.
Hiking: Explore the 5 km of trails on stilts or gravel through the Marais and discover the diversity of fauna and flora that inhabit this ecosystem. Trails suitable for all levels allow you to enjoy the natural beauty while soaking up the tranquility of the environment. Its access is free to all. In winter, snowshoe enthusiasts can use the 1.8 kilometers of additional trail.

In another room, the temporary exhibition Transformation invites you to admire chrysalis sculptures and watercolors of butterflies.
