Endless forests and countless lakes and waterways—in other words, immense spaces that are still intact! Huge parks and lots of hunting/fishing outfitters, wildlife reserves and nature centres mean nonstop outdoor recreation. Two waves of migrants populated this immense region, so far from major cities and barely one hundred years old—first came the woodsmen, fur traders and land-clearers, then the prospectors drawn by the gold rush. Proud of its history, Abitibi-Témiscamingue is a dynamic region with plenty for tourists to do, including museums, mining tours and industrial tours.</font></p> <p><b><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">Réserve faunique La Vérendrye</font></b></p> <p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">At over 13,615 km², La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve is the second largest territory managed by Sépaq (Société des établissements de plein air du Québec) after the Lakes Albanel, Mistassini & Waconichi Wildlife Reserve. Named in 1950 in honor of the explorer who discovered the Rocky Mountains.</font></p> <p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">The reserve, which is separated into two sectors (Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Outaouais), impresses visitors with its vast wilderness expanses and innumerable waterways, which include several tributaries of the Ottawa River. The reserve's thousands of lakes and rivers make it one of the richest fishing areas in Québec, and a paradise for canoe camping with over 2,000 km of circuits. Outdoor enthusiasts looking for an out-of-the-ordinary experience will love this natural Eden so close to civilization and yet so far removed. A vacation in La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve will leave you feeling like an explorer of nature at its untouched best.  </font> </p> <p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"> <a href="http://www.bonjourquebec.com/qc-en/fiches/en/index/abi_001.html"> More information about Abitibi-Témiscamingue</a></font></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img src="http://www.bonjourquebec.com/fileadmin/Image/splash/logo_tq.jpg" alt="Logo Ministère du Tourisme" align="right"></td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
