In the heart of Gaspésie, the Chic-Choc Appalachian chain is the backbone of this forest-covered peninsula. Its geographical location along the edge of a protected territory explains the remarkable diversity of wildlife found here. Take the time to visit this little corner of paradise where you can enjoy a variety of activities.

Many species of mammals frequent this territory, including moose, black bears, snowshoe hare and porcupines, making it an excellent spot for wildlife observation. Keep an eye out as you hike, and you may spot various species in their natural habitat. You can also stop to pick mushrooms, blueberries or raspberries along the way. And be sure to admire to the stunning views of the McGerrigle Mountains!

Take advantage of your visit to the wildlife reserve to go hunting for agates in the Mt. Lyall mine. Visit the open-pit mine and then set off to find these famous geodes.

In the winter, you can enjoy backcountry skiing, telemark skiing and snowshoeing in the wildlife reserve. Winter activities are managed by Parc national de la Gapsésie, so check with the park for details and snow conditions.
