Hiking in the area around Quebec City

I know that the question is bit old but I feel my answer can be useful for other users.

Since you are willing to go as far as Tadoussac, I will recommend two other parks:

  1. Parc national des grands jardins (2h15 from Quebec-City)
  2. Parc national des hautes gorges de la rivière Malbaie (2h30 from Quebec-City)

I will recommend the Pioui trail at the Grand Jardins Park and l’acropole des draveurs trail at the hautes gorges de la rivière Malbaie.

Last but not least: Jacques-Cartier is nice and close to Quebec but I feel Jacques-Cartier is better suited for water activities (kayaking or fishing). Furthermore, unlike the two parks above, I will not consider Jacques-Cartier in my top 5 parks in Quebec.
Nerveless, if you wish to go hiking to Jacques-Cartier, I will recommend the following hiking trail:

  • Des loups
  • Scotora

Since pictures speaks louder than words, I uploaded some pictures.

Only thirty minutes outside of Quebec City there are scenic hiking trails where you feel like you are miles away from civilization. The hiking trails at Jacques-Cartier National Park range from trails for the most experienced hikers to climb to the top of the mountain.

Jacques-Cartier National Park is located just thirty minutes north of Quebec City. It is a part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve and has 100km of hiking trails with some linking to the National Hiking Trail.
