Abitibi-Témiscamingue
Land of prospectors and pioneers, Abitibi-Témiscamingue is very much in keeping with people’s larger-than-life conceptions of Québec: wild forests, deep lakes, endless skies and magnificent northern lights. Shaped by glaciers and history, the region has seen a gold rush, the fur trade and a massive influx of Depression-era settlers over the years. Nowadays, outdoor and wildlife enthusiasts flock to the region to explore open spaces, reconnect with Mother Nature, admire unspoiled scenery and observe the rich and abundant array of flora and fauna.
This region, known as the “48th north,” is either the start or end point of the Route verte. It starts with the 45-kilometre Ligne du Mocassin, which follows an abandoned railway corridor and cuts through some breathtaking farmland, and then continues for 30 kilometres through the Parc linéaire Rouyn-Noranda– Taschereau, an ideal destination for cycling enthusiasts.
