Ashuapmushuan Wildlife Reserve, Wildlife reserve in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada.

The Ashuapmushuan Wildlife Reserve spans 4,488 square kilometers, featuring 1,200 lakes and numerous rivers amid pine and spruce forests in northern Quebec.

The territory served as hunting grounds for Montagnais Innu people who established trading posts near Lakes Ashuapmushuan and Nicabau before European settlement.

The name Ashuapmushuan comes from Montagnais Innu language, meaning 'where we see the moose', reflecting the deep connection to regional wildlife.

Route 167 provides direct access to the reserve's facilities, including eleven cottages at Lake Chigoubiche and four rustic chalets at Draveurs rest area.

The reserve maintains a ninety percent success rate for bear hunting expeditions while supporting sustainable forest management practices through industry agreements.
