Belvedere
Baie St-Pancrace
A lookout accessible via Route 138
just minutes from Baie-Comeau!
The view never gets old!
The St-Pancrace lookout, located 8 kilometers east of Baie-Comeau, is a magnificent 600-metre-high viewpoint (nearly 2000 feet for the old-timers)! Access is via a parking lot off Route 138 (on the right as you approach from Baie-Comeau).
It offers the finest view of the fjard (yes, fjard, not fjord) and Anse St-Pancrace, as well as the St. Lawrence River, which stretches as far as the eye can see.
Witness to the passage of glaciers, this grandiose landscape makes us feel very small on our vast planet... If there's ONE place you MUST take a selfie, this is it!
If you walk a few more steps to the top, you can also catch a glimpse of Low Lake on the other side of Route 138, and have a picnic sitting on a flat rock overlooking the cliff. If you're afraid of heights, step back a little and stick to the spruce trees!
St-Pancrace…
It seems like the name rings a bell?
During the prohibition era in the 1930s, bootleggers would hide in this very bay to make their illegal deliveries! A story that inspired the name of our local microbrewery!
Important information:
Note that you have to climb a few dozen steps to get to the top, so it takes fit legs. Unfortunately, we don't have the exact number of steps, because we can't count them because of this exceptional view that hypnotizes us, we lose count every time we try!
