Welcome to North-central Québec
The Mauricie region is an unspoiled wilderness waiting to be explored. Nearly 85% of the area is untouched and with over 17, 500 lakes and 700 miles of trails available, the outdoor enthusiast will find no shortage of adventure! Cycle, hike or canoe though La Mauricie National Park or visit Batiscan River Park’s waterfalls. In the winter, try your hand at ice-fishing in Sainte-Anne-de-la-Perade.
An area formed by industry, Mauricie’s history is brought into the present at the Forges du Saint Maurice, Canada’s first ironworks. Tour through the Village du Bucheron (lumberjack’s village) where life in an early 20th century logging camp is
brought vividly to life.
