Notre Dame Mountains, Mountain range in eastern Quebec, Canada.

The Notre Dame Mountains extend through eastern Quebec for 800 kilometers, reaching heights up to 1,268 meters at Mont Jacques-Cartier peak.

French explorer Samuel de Champlain named these mountains during his expeditions in the early 1600s, marking them on the first detailed maps of New France.

Indigenous peoples of the Wabanaki Confederacy maintained settlements throughout these mountains, establishing hunting grounds and trading routes across the terrain.

Multiple national parks within the range, including Forillon and Gaspésie, provide access points for hiking trails and wildlife observation areas.

The mountains contain the Chic-Choc subrange, which harbors the last remaining woodland caribou herd south of the Saint Lawrence River.
