Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, Wildlife reserve in Quebec, Canada
The reserve extends across 7,800 square kilometers of forest land between Quebec City and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean regions, featuring 2,000 lakes and 9 rivers.
Created in January 1895, this protected territory marks one of Canada's earliest conservation projects dedicated to preserving natural habitats and native species.
SEPAQ manages the reserve by balancing outdoor recreation with conservation, offering programs for fishing, hunting, skiing, and environmental education throughout the year.
Visitors find accommodation in 100 lakeside cabins equipped with running water and propane facilities, plus two campgrounds totaling 178 sites near recreational areas.
Camp Mercier provides 70 kilometers of maintained cross-country ski trails and snowshoe paths, reaching observation points at 1,000 meters above sea level.
