Pointe-Taillon National Park, Nature reserve on the north shore of Lake Saint-Jean, Quebec.
The national park stretches across 97.5 square kilometers of lowlands, featuring extensive sandy beaches along Lake Saint-Jean and diverse wetland ecosystems.
The area, previously known as Pointe Savane, received its current name in honor of Louis-Olivier Taillon, who served as Premier of Quebec in 1886.
The park preserves traditional outdoor recreational practices through a network of cycling paths, water activities, and nature interpretation programs focused on local ecosystems.
Visitors can rent bicycles, canoes, and paddle boards from June to August, with designated launch areas near the beach sectors.
The central area contains a large peat bog formed by post-glacial delta deposits from the Péribonka River between 7,000 and 5,000 years ago.
