Crown Land Near Rivière-du-Loup
Rivière-du-Loup faces the widest part of the St. Lawrence, with its namesake river fishable 3 km from downtown and the Fourchue reservoir about 15 km inland. Public territories start around the 30 km mark in two directions: pourvoiries in the Témiscouata backcountry to the southeast from about 32 km, and — straight across the river — Zec Buteux-Bas-Saguenay and the Charlevoix pourvoiries at 36 to 40 km as the crow flies, reached via the Saint-Siméon ferry. Camping hugs the shore, from Camping du Quai (3.4 km) to the wild sites on Île aux Lièvres, an island 15 km offshore.
