	Interpretation

On île Anticosti, distances are important! The island, which is 222 km long and 54 km wide, is an immense natural territory that is crossed from west to east by route Henri-Menier, also known as "the TransAnticostienne", a dirt road to which several secondary roads are connected. A substantial distance may separate your place of accommodation from the attraction that you wish to visit, whether in or outside the park. Be sure to take this distance into account when you plan your outings. Table of distances
