Minganie
Magical Minganie is a destination in itself, with Mingan Archipelago
National Park Reserve of Canada its feature attraction. Created in
1984, the Reserve encompasses hundreds of islands and coastal islets
spread over 175 km from Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan to Aguanish, including
the forty-odd Mingan Islands, which are among the most spectacular.
Sparsely populated Minganie counts a handful of villages, one major
center Havre-Saint-Pierre, and some 360 kilometers of picture-perfect
coastline. Highway138 snakes along the shoreline, crossing rivers,
lakes, peat bogs, forests, and mountains, and pausing along the way
in tiny hamlets reminiscent of old-time fishing villages.
Be sure
to venture into the picturesque villages to discover all the treasures
they hold. Heed the call of the sea and the welcoming blows of the
whales with a trip out to spellbinding islands, including the Mingan
Islands and the enchanting monoliths named by a famous poet, the late
Roland Jomphe. Admire the rich variety of Minganie’s plant life,
including certain exceedingly rare species.
Enjoy Minganie’s hunting, fishing, and adventure travel opportunities.
And when winter drapes her soft, white mantle over the countryside,
go snowmobiling or cross country skiing in the dry, crisp winter air.
