Belvédère du Faucon
Belvédère du Faucon sits at 520 ft along the Route des Navigateurs, facing 270° toward the west. The terrain drops 401 ft within 600 m of the overlook, giving an open view across the surrounding land and water. Îlet Levasseur lies closest, to the west-northwest at 1.4 mi, while Montagne de l'Embarras and Le Cap rise to the southwest at roughly 5.5 and 5.6 mi. Farther southwest, Le Pain de Sucre, Cap au Diable, and Pointe du Cap extend the view to about 8.1 mi, with Îlet de Terre to the west-southwest at 9.2 mi and Pointe Saint-Denis at 12.2 mi. To the northwest and west-northwest, Montagne du Remous and Le Grand Por appear at greater distances, the latter reaching 1,152 ft at 13.5 mi. The Cours d'eau de la Grève is visible to the southwest at 13.6 mi. Because the overlook faces directly toward the sunset, evening light lines up with the view; sunset falls at 20:41 near the June solstice and 15:51 near the December solstice. Allagash is 49.7 mi to the southeast, and the next stop along the byway is Halte La Bernache.
