Who knows-you might spot moose in their natural habitat as you paddle. Wildlife observation is the featured activity in the Matane Wildlife Reserve. Mud flats allow enthusiasts to observe moose. The Étang-à-la-Truite Interpretation Centre is a must for those wishing to learn more about this impressive animal. Over 150 species of birds can also be observed in the reserve. Enjoy a stay at the Matane Wildlife Reserve in a campground or cabin.
