Summer and winter recreational fishing in the salt waters of the marine park does not require a licence for Canadian citizens and are regulated by Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans Canada or by Ministère de la Forêt, de la Faune et des Parcs, depending on the fish species. Recreational fishing activities are authorized but must not target species designated by the Endangered Species Act in Canada or those on Québec’s list of endangered or vulnerable species (in French only). Opening dates by zone and quotas must be respected at all times.

Are you planning a marine activity without taking along a certified guide? Your safety is your responsibility! Find out what instructions to follow and what equipment to bring for a safe and enjoyable experience.

In the Saguenay Fjord and the St. Lawrence Estuary, cold water, changing weather conditions, tides, and strong ocean currents can make your activity difficult. Cellular coverage is partial in the park. Know your own limits and do not head off alone. Stay close to the coast, as fog will suddenly form and you may not be able to see the shoreline. Due to marine traffic, it’s best to avoid crossing a waterway from one shore to the other.

Respect the Marine Park Activities Regulations by keeping your distance from marine mammals. Pay particular attention to the regulatory measure that applies from June 21 to September 21 in Baie-Sainte-Marguerite.

Visit canot-kayak.qc.ca as part of your preparation.

Reservations for kayak-camping platforms in the fjord must be made with Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay.
