The Valley

Linking the Chaleur Bay sector to the Coast, the Valley welcomes you in friendly communities surrounded by fields, forests, lakes and rivers.

At the heart of this sector, discover Lake Matapédia and its regional park as well as the Matapédia River, which is world-renowned for its salmon fishing. Enjoy this sector’s many covered bridges as well as the Chute à Philomène waterfall and a network of quad trails that are among the most famous in Québec.

Extraordinary Moments to Enjoy 

Contemplate in silence the mist rising over the Matapédia River in the early morning as you set off on a canoeing or salmon fishing adventure. Watch it dissipate in the sunlight, which will warm your face and sparkle on the crystal-clear water, much to your delight!
