Rouge-Matawin Wildlife Reserve, Nature reserve in Lanaudière region, Quebec, Canada
The Rouge-Matawin Wildlife Reserve extends across 1394 square kilometers, featuring 450 lakes, rivers, and mountains reaching heights of 600 meters.
Established in 1935 as part of Forest Reserve Mountain-Tremblant, the area transformed from a logging territory into a protected wildlife sanctuary through Provincial Decree 208-81.
The reserve bears the names of two major rivers, Rouge and Matawin, which were essential waterways for timber transportation during Quebec's early forestry period.

The reserve spans two distinct watersheds and contains multiple major lakes including Rouge, Williard, and Laverdière, supporting populations of trout, walleye, pike, and bass.
