Réserve faunique des Chic-Chocs (1,129 km²) is divided into two distinct parts: most of the territory (1,048 km²) to the south and east of Parc national de la Gaspésie, and the other part (81 km²) to the north of the park. It was created in 1949 to preserve an exceptional territory for wildlife and to enable better use of the land. The venerable Father Le Clerk exclaimed in the late 16th century: "A country full of mountains, woods and rocks". Indeed, the area encompasses impressive mountains over 800 metres in height, including Monts Blanche-Lamontagne (940 metres), Vallières-de-Saint-Réal (940 metres), Hog's Back (830 metres) and Mont Brown (920 metres). The forest is covered with black spruce and white birch stands, with typical tundra vegetation on the highest peaks. There are some forty lakes and numerous streams and rivers. A truly harmonious natural setting in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains.

Activities: moose and small game hunting, wildlife observation, day and overnight fishing, hiking, forest gathering, geology discovery, snow sports (telemark, alpine skiing, snowboarding), snowshoeing.
