Quebec
Quebec is Canada's largest province by area — a sprawling wilderness stretching from the US border to the Arctic tundra of Nunavik. For outdoorsmen, Quebec means space, solitude, and spectacular hunting and fishing. The province is home to massive woodland caribou herds in the north, dense moose populations throughout the boreal forest, excellent black bear hunting, and some of the finest brook trout fishing on the planet. With a distinct French-Canadian culture, authentic wilderness camps, and vast remote territories accessible only by float plane, Quebec offers a truly unique Canadian outdoor experience.

About Quebec Hunting & Fishing
Quebec's sheer size is its defining outdoor characteristic — 1.5 million square kilometers of mostly undeveloped wilderness. The province's northern reaches, particularly the Ungava region and James Bay, are legendary among serious hunters and anglers. Woodland caribou hunts in the subarctic taiga rival anything in Alaska. The brook trout fishing in northern Quebec's countless pristine lakes sets world records. Moose populations are robust and widespread. And the province's outfitting industry (pourvoiries) is well-established, with comfortable camps and experienced guides who know their territories intimately. For those willing to embrace the French language and culture, Quebec rewards with world-class experiences at prices often lower than comparable western destinations.
Terrain: Massive diversity across the largest province — St. Lawrence River lowlands, Laurentian Mountains, vast boreal shield forest, subarctic taiga, and Arctic tundra in Nunavik. Over 1 million lakes and thousands of rivers including the massive La Grande complex.
