Île aux Grues, River island in Montmagny region, Canada.
The seven-kilometer-long island stands in the St. Lawrence River, where fresh water transitions into salt water, creating specific environmental conditions.
Charles Huault received the seigneury of Rivière-du-Sud in 1646, which included both Île aux Grues and Île aux Oies as part of the territory.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada manages 170 hectares of protected land on the island, including the Jean-Paul-Riopelle Nature Reserve.
Visitors can reach the island through daily ferry service from Montmagny between May and December, with schedules depending on tide conditions.
The island maintains the tradition of sustainable seagrass farming at its eastern section, supporting local cattle operations and cheese production.
