Go green… with Témiscouata! A genuine gem of nature, the Témiscouata region is less than three hours from Québec, in the southern part of the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. This vast territory has more than 900 lakes and rivers, including the famous Lake Témiscouata and Lake Pohénégamook, known for the exceptional quality of their beaches. With 100-year old forests, Témiscouata is one of the rare tourist destinations where it’s still possible to admire natural beauty, as it existed at the time of the Amerindians. The majestic Appalachian mountains, rich in archaeological sites and biodiversity, will delight you. With breathtaking landscapes year round, many ecotourism services (camping, trails and equipment rentals), inns and excellent dining, Témiscouata provides a unique experience for nature lovers. Also look for the opening of Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata, planned for 2013!
