Whether you are a fishing fanatic or whether it is a short family outing, four species of fish await your line in the wildlife reserve – walleye, lake trout, brook trout and northern pike. 

The word “Assinica” comes from the Cree word asinikaw, meaning “it’s stony” or “it’s rocky.” It is the name of a lake in the Broadback River basin that runs through the reserve.

You will find the largest natural freshwater lake in Québec, lac Mistassini, with a staggering length of 176 km. Let yourself be tempted by the ocean air and enjoy a memorable stay in this wildlife sanctuary where the word space takes its whole dimension.
