Yamaska National Park, National park with reservoir in Saint-Joachim-de-Shefford, Canada.

The Yamaska National Park spans 12.9 square kilometers of Appalachian Lowlands, featuring the Choinière Reservoir surrounded by forests and walking trails.

The creation of the 4.5 square kilometer Choinière Reservoir in 1977 transformed the North Yamaska River into a central feature of the park.

The Northern Dusky Salamander represents the park's commitment to protecting rare Quebec species through conservation and education programs.

The park maintains 147 camping sites and a 19-kilometer trail network for hiking and cycling around the reservoir throughout all seasons.

The park's acidic and stony soil conditions prevented agricultural development, resulting in preserved forest areas with 40 different tree species.
