Zec du lac-au-Sable

The Lac-au-Sable ZEC features the typical relief of the Charlevoix landscape.
Elevations range from 150 m to over 1000 m.
The zec’s exceptional vantage points are a true reflection of Quebec.
In the Zec’s territory, a hundred or so lakes, including a dozen large ones, nestle in the hollows of the valleys.
A network of rivers criss-crosses the territory, providing numerous opportunities for recreation.
The entrance to its territory near Clermont has a network of well-maintained, easy-access roads that don’t require private vehicles.
