The territory of Réserve faunique de Rimouski was once made up of several private hunting and fishing clubs. The quality of sport hunting and fishing here has remained high. Thanks to the incredible biological diversity of the wildlife reserve, the wildlife observation sites that have been set up, in particular for deer, moose and beavers, attract a large number of visitors. A stay on this territory will allow you to contemplate the great beauty of nature while discovering a very hospitable setting in a truly enchanted forest...

The forest of Réserve faunique de Rimouski is exploited by the logging industry under Timber Supply and Forest Management Agreements (CAAF) awarded by the Ministère des Ressources naturelles de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec. Logging in mature forests ensures the regeneration of the forest, while at the same time providing a more abundant source of food for a number of wild animal species. This means quality habitats, particularly for the moose.
