Mauricie, Administrative region in Quebec, Canada

The Mauricie region encompasses 35,860 square kilometers of territory between Montreal and Quebec City, featuring numerous lakes, forests, and the Saint-Maurice River.

Following the division of Mauricie-Bois-Francs territory in 1997, Quebec established Mauricie as an independent administrative region with Trois-Rivières as its capital.

The Atikamekw Nation maintains strong connections to the land through traditional practices and contributes significantly to the regional cultural identity.

The region contains three regional county municipalities - Les Chenaux, Maskinongé, and Mékinac - plus independent territories including La Tuque and Shawinigan.

La Mauricie National Park provides year-round outdoor activities across 536 square kilometers of protected wilderness between Shawinigan and Trois-Rivières.
