Parc national d'Anticosti is in the heart of Anticosti Island. It's a huge 7,943-km2 territory at the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in the Côte-Nord tourism region.
As the crow flies, the island's northernmost tip is 35 km from Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan, whereas 72 km separates the southwestern tip from the Gaspé Peninsula, i.e., the end of the Forillon Peninsula.
The island is 222 km long and 54 km wide. It's an immense wilderness that is crossed from west to east by Route Henri-Menier, dubbed the "Transanticostienne"-a dirt road with side roads branching off. A fairly long distance may separate your accommodations from the point of interest you wish to visit within or outside the park.
