For a magnificent view without having to hike for hours, Mont Sourire is sure to appeal to families with young children.

Less than a kilometer from the parking lot, a lookout offers a panoramic view of the village of Saint-Donat, with Lake Ouareau and the La Réserve ski center in the foreground and Mount Ouareau (692 m), Mount Kaaïkop (839 m), and Montagne Noire (892 m) in the background. Simply magnificent!

From Principale Street in Saint-Donat (Route 125 North), turn right onto Allard Street and continue to the end. Turn right onto Chemin Ouareau Nord and continue for 6 km, then turn left onto Chemin de la Cascade. The parking lot and trailhead are located a little further up the road.
