The park forms a large peninsula that juts out between the waters of Lake Saint-Jean and the Péribonka River. This 97.5 km2 territory protects part of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean lowlands natural region. Pointe Taillon is a sandy plain with an almost flat relief, without hills or mountains. Visitors are sure to be charmed by the maritime or seaside atmosphere of the sandy shores as far as the eye can see.

Visitors can bring their own board or rent one on site. They then have the opportunity to face Lake Saint-Jean, with its breaking waves or its gentle tranquility, or to visit the Taillon River, an always peaceful river.

The national park is surrounded by water, so canoeists have several possibilities: the Péribonka River, Lake Saint-Jean and the Taillon River. The latter is a small, quiet river located in the area of the beach and the nautical rental centre. Canoes, pedal boats, kayaks and paddle boards (SUP) can be rented in high season.
