Lake Mistassini and Friends
The city of Chibougamau and its surroundings are home to two large wildlife preserves. These vast spaces are perfect for nature lovers. In these preserves, you can easily observe nearly 200 species of vertebrates, including beavers, great horned owls and otters, as well as some amphibians.
In these preserves, you will find more than 5,000 lakes, rivers and streams. It is thus a paradise on earth – and on water – for all fishers. The fish you will catch will be so big they will provide great fishing stories for many years to come! Overall, 20 species of fish can be caught. In these two preserves, you will also find the largest natural lake of fresh water in Quebec. Lake Mistassini is 176 kilometres long and can sometimes reach 40 kilometres in width.
