Oka National Park in Quebec, Canada - map and visitor information
Parc national d'Oka combines the shore of Lac des Deux Montagnes with wetlands, forest and the historic Calvaire d'Oka west of Montréal, Québec. Sépaq operates this provincial national park. Choose a trail, campground or beach visit before driving, because the main Route 344 entrance and seasonal Highway 640 entrance serve different arrivals.
Highlights by the lake and marsh
- Walk the historic Calvaire route and see its chapels and oratories.
- Explore the Grande Baie wetland from its boardwalk and observation areas.
- Choose a lakeshore outing or a winter trail activity for the season.

Use the supervised swimming arrangements
Choose designated supervised swimming areas and follow the instructions in force. The 2026 lifeguard season ended September 7; an open lakeshore does not imply supervision. For a trail outing, bring water and suitable clothing, and plan to return before the park closes.
Respect beach and wildlife boundaries
Pets are prohibited in the beach area. Elsewhere, dogs are limited to authorized places under the park's conditions. Observe marsh wildlife from the route without approaching or feeding it. Leave plants and other natural features in place.
Buy entry, parking, and accommodation as needed
Children need authorized access too, even with no admission charge. Use Sépaq's admission options for park access. In the supervised beach season, parking is a separate purchase and advance purchase is recommended. Reserve a campsite, ready-to-camp unit or cabin for its operating dates, checking the Refuge and Dunes work before choosing a location.
Location and the two entrances
The main entrance is on Route 344 and serves camping arrivals. The western end of Highway 640 provides a separate seasonal beach entrance. Follow the destination signs for the visit you have planned. The official directions and hours explain the winter change; use these entrance directions rather than the operator's postal address as your destination.
Other parks reached by road
Parc national de Plaisance is farther west in the Outaouais, reached from Highway 50 at Plaisance. Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno is across the Montréal region, with its entrance on rang des 25 Est in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville. Choose the actual destination entrance for either separate drive.
Historic walks, wetland views, and seasonal trails
Combine a Calvaire walk with a different outing at Grande Baie, or choose a lakeshore visit. Winter hiking and cross-country skiing use designated seasonal routes when conditions allow. The official activity page provides route tables and operating details.
Le Littoral and overnight services
Le Littoral provides a shop and seasonal rental services. Summer watercraft rentals and winter equipment operate on different schedules. Adapted outdoor equipment, including an Hippocampe chair and winter Ski-Vel, is subject to availability. Ask staff about a particular route or accommodation; adapted units do not make every campground loop or trail accessible.
About Oka
Historic buildings within a protected landscape
The park was created in 1990. The Calvaire complex contains four oratories and three chapels, giving its walking route a historical dimension alongside the natural setting.
Wetland and forest habitats
Grande Baie supports ducks and fish-hunting birds of prey. White-tailed deer, beavers, muskrats and turtles also occur in the park's varied habitats. Watch from permitted routes and give animals room.
