Reserve Faunique de Matane

Recognized first and foremost for its exceptionally rich wildlife, the Matane Wildlife Reserve offers nearly 1300 km2 (500 sq. mi.) of breathtaking panoramas combining mountains and deep valleys crisscrossed by numerous waterways. The reserve offers over 100 km (60 mi.) of hiking trails. Look for changes in the vegetation as you hike along the Mont Blanc trail, and feast your eyes on the spectacular mountain scenery along the International Appalachian Trail. If you like wild berries, you can pick juicy raspberries in season during your stay on the wildlife reserve. The 2-km long (1.2-mi.) Étang à la Truite pond awaits you for a lovely kayaking excursion. Who knows-you might spot moose in their natural habitat as you paddle. Wildlife observation is the featured activity in the Matane Wildlife Reserve. Mud flats allow enthusiasts to observe moose. The Étang-à-la-Truite Interpretation Centre is a must for those wishing to learn more about this impressive animal. Over 150 species of birds can also be observed in the reserve. Enjoy a stay at the Matane Wildlife Reserve in a campground or cabin. Spend a day or longer on the reserve and get the most out of your experience by exploring this exceptional wildlife territory, where moose roam freely.
