Mastigouche Wildlife Reserve, Wildlife reserve in Saint-Alexis-des-Monts, Canada
The Mastigouche Wildlife Reserve spans 1,556 square kilometers across the Mauricie and Lanaudière regions, containing 417 lakes and 13 rivers for outdoor activities.
The territory began as private hunting grounds in 1881 when Élisabeth Copeland de Berthier received the first club concession before becoming a public reserve in 1971.
The name Mastigouche originates from Atikamekw or Algonquin language, translating to 'where the woods are small' in reference to the local forest characteristics.
Visitors can access 135 fishing lakes across ten sectors, with nightly draws at warden cabins determining next-day fishing assignments for most accommodation areas.
Lac Sorcier maintains a population of landlocked Atlantic salmon, introduced from Lac Saint-Jean into connected waters during the 1920s by club members.
