This is one of the main attractions of the Poisson Blanc Regional Park. The wall offers a diversity of routes and climbing styles. An ideal playground for beginners and advanced climbers alike.
Since 2023, three types of climbing experience have been available: from a canoe, from land, and deep water solo.
Camping Nearby
Paroi Écho is located several kilometres away from the Poisson Blanc Regional Park reception area by canoe. To make the most of it, it’s best to rent a campsite close to the wall and set up your base camp. The campsites that surround the wall and provide access in less than 20 minutes by canoe are as follows, in order of proximity:
42E – 42A – 41 – 44A – 44B – 45A – 39
Canoe Belaying Sectors
These are the areas where the climbing starts from your canoe! Many different styles of route await you, including some of the Park’s most emblematic multi-pitch routes.
*Before you set off, make sure you’re familiar with cliff-anchoring techniques and good belaying practices from a canoe.

Ground Belaying Sectors
These sectors represent the land-based extension of our traditional Paroi Écho. Offering a wide range of routes spread over 4 cliffs, you can climb and belay with both feet on the ground. These routes are easily accessible and ideal for families and groups looking for a hammock break between attempts. Moor your watercraft at the dock to the left of the deep water, then take the approach trail.
