Regional Park Obalski is a magnificent, top-rated park loved among locals. 

The trails meander through a forest where you can observe the effects of a forest fire ravaging the Park in 2005. The Kiwanis trail goes around the Gilman lakes. You can shorten the hike by shortcut via the Hydro trail, which partly runs along each lake. The Rustic trail is accessed via the Kiwanis trail; the intersection is at the western end of Little Gilman Lake.

The summit of Mount Helios, named in honour of the Greek god of the sun, is where visitors can view the town of Chibougamau and the lake of the same name, as well as Lac aux Dorés.

The Lac Sauvage trail passes by the lake of the same name and ends at Campbell Road. Another trail leads to the top of Mount Chalco.
