Zec Onatchiway, Controlled harvesting zone in Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Canada.

Zec Onatchiway spans 1,462 square kilometers of diverse terrain featuring numerous lakes, rivers, and forested areas in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec.

The Quebec government established this controlled harvesting zone in 1978 to replace private hunting clubs and provide regulated public access to natural resources.

The name originates from the Montagnais term 'unatshishineu', reflecting the indigenous heritage and traditional hunting grounds of Montagnais bands in this territory.

Visitors can obtain permits and maps at entrance stations accessible via Shipshaw Road and Bras Louis Road, where canoe rentals are also available.

The zone contains several designated lakes for recreational fishing, including Lake Onatchiway, Clair, Lessard, Pétamban, and Saint-Martin, each offering specific aquatic environments.
