Keogan Shelter

How many times I've been here, I can't count. We always ski up and have a good meal beside the wood stove which keeps us toasty. A favorite of the family.

We visit several times per year en famille, on foot or by ski, bringing a picnic lunch or supper and a deck of cards. Can occasionally be crowded but crowds usually disperse rapidly and we've never been shut out.

The wood stove keeps the cabin warm. Bring candles for lighting after dark.

Time to get here from P10 with very casual young skiers: 60-90 minutes (only a very short section is steep enough to challenge beginners, unfortunately it's the first 10 minutes). The return trip is 20-30 minutes of easy but safe and controlled descending.

Great place. Bring snacks (and candles if it will be dark)
There is an emergency beacon there, but if you are reading this you probably have a computer.

Keogan cabin is a nice spot to relax after walking along the numerous hiking trails in Gatineau park. It is equipped with a true wood burning stove where you can warm up a bit on cooler days. An emergency line is available too. Outside the cabin is a picnic bench to enjoy a meal outdoors while admiring the fall colors or soak in the sounds of the nearby stream. It is also worth noting that Keofan also had a his and hers outhouses for whenever nature calls.

Great spot to stop for a break...especially in winter when there is a fire in the woodstove. Several tables where you can eat your lunch or snack.
