Departure to Kingsbury Marsh, a popular bird-watching site. Go south, which runs along the marsh and offers different viewpoints, and leads into the forest. A little further, the trail offers lovely views of the Saumon River. You can take an alternative trail twice; these options make it possible to make a short loop before returning to the main trail. The return is made by the same path. From the parking lot, take the main trail (red) to the south. At km 16.1, stay on the main trail until km 14.1. The return is made by the same path or by the alternative path (orange).
