Poisson-Blanc Regional Park

Poisson-Blanc Regional Park is a protected area in the Laurentian Mountains featuring a large reservoir surrounded by forested shores, rocky cliffs, and scattered islands. The water is the focal point, with peninsulas and islands creating a complex landscape of bays and passages to explore.

The land was a logging territory before becoming a protected park in 2008, marking a shift from resource extraction to recreation. This transformation allowed the forests to recover and the area to serve a new purpose for outdoor enthusiasts.

The park offers a place where visitors experience the wild landscape without engine sounds, preserving how people traditionally connect with the northern forests. Paddlers and campers move through the territory much as explorers once did, following water routes between islands and shorelines.

The Bastion Pavilion offers canoe, kayak, and stand-up paddleboard rentals with safety equipment provided and capacity limits clearly marked on each vessel. Familiarize yourself with the water routes and island locations before departure to navigate safely across the reservoir.

The park features a network of isolated camping spots distributed across multiple islands, reachable only by water from the mainland. These island camps offer a rare chance to spend several days completely surrounded by water and forest with no road access.
