When I heard about a Quebec hidden gem right on my doorstep, I was floored. How could a massive region of Quebec packed with waterfalls, rivers, provincial parks, incredible cities, and countless adventures be just four hours from my home in Toronto, and I didn’t know about it!? Most people have never heard of it, but Quebec’s Abitibi-Témiscamingue region is literally on the border with Ontario, and just a quick 45 minutes from North Bay. While Ontario destinations can be jam-packed in the summer, this beautiful region offers a truly unique family getaway without the crowds.
