On a dormi dans le chalet atipik
Lits confortables
On n'a pas eu froid malgré une météo pourrie
Salle commune pour cuisiner, manger au top!
Repas du soir fourni super bon et super copieux: ça nous a fait le repas du lendemain midi aussi (poulet au sirop d'érable, tarte aux bleuets, salade avec croûtons +bleuets+ fromage)
Sortie canot très sympa, beau paysage. Barbecue pour chauffer le repas.
3 gros enclos contenant les loups.
Il vaut mieux y aller en petit groupe.
J'ai pu observer 3 louveteaux, des loups gris, arctiques de très près.
Peu de monde.
Super expérience!
Accès au chenil des 65 chiens de traineaux. On peut les carresser.

Cet endroit est un incontournable si vous passez par Girardville et ses alentours! Si vous voulez voir des loups nordique, c'est là place! Vous aurez l'opportunité d'être très près de ceux-ci. De plus, le parc est très bien entretenu et le service à la clientèle est très bien. J'ai adoré mon expérience. À votre tour de passé un moment inoubliable!

Bel endroit avec un bon accueil. On repart avec une bonne connaissance des loups grâce à un guide concerné et convaincu. Merci

It is nearly impossible to put into words, our experience at this park. The wolves were spectacular and the sanctuary is primed to support their wellbeing. We stayed in Atipik - woodfire, clean, and comfy beds. Gilles was wonderful and his love for wolves is contagious. Thank you so much for the hospitality and the magical experience. We will be back!

I spent 8 nights in Mahikan park in December 2017.
The owners (Gilles and Marie) picked me up at the airport to go to Girardville (close to Saint Jean Lake), where Mahikan park is located. They have an extraordinary hospitality, being very friendly and professional. They are also both fond of animals, i.e.:
- wildlife conservation; indeed, Gilles is implicated in wolves conservation. In Mahikan park, there are three packs of wolves: 2 composed of grey wolves and one of arctic wolves.
- sled dogs. Indeed, when sled dogs become old, being unable to tract the sleds, Gilles keeps them in one park and they are happy retired dogs.
The wooden cottages are very spacious and well equipped. The beds are very comfortable. I stayed 6 nights in the main cottage, and 2 nights in the “Affut” cottage that has a direct view on the grey wolves park and arctic wolves park. At sunset, you can hear the wolves howling: it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience!
The food is excellent; the menus are created by Marie who is also a perfect cook.
I greatly appreciated to stay in Mahikan park. I made several activities:
- I drove sled dogs (husky and malamute dogs) every day, and we ate in the wildlife. The contact with sled dogs was wonderful. The naturalist guide (Julien) was enthusiastic, and he was an excellent tracker, allowing us to see birds, paw prints of different animals in the snow, beaver dams…
- I made (2 times) the contact activity with acrtic wolves, that have been taken to the wolf pack when they were puppies (before they opened their eyes) and fed by Gilles and Marie. It was both a fantastic and unique experience. Indeed, Gilles is enthusiastic, passionated and fascinating when he talks about wolves and wildlife in Quebec. Moreover he has exceptional level of knowledge on wolves and fauna. He knows all details you may wish to know on wolves animals' characteristics and behaviour
Altogether, I HIGHLY recommend to stay in Mahikan park. I’ll come back.

Superbe expérience dans ce Parc! On a pris la visite guidée et on a appris pleins de nouvelle choses. Les prix sont totalement abordable! De plus, il est possible de dormir dans le parc, c'est certain que je vais y retourner pour entendre les loups la nuit.
