Ashuapmushuan Wildlife Reserve

Le Domaine-du-Roy, Canada · built 1946

The Ashuapmushuan Wildlife Reserve is a wildlife reserve in Quebec, Canada, in the watershed of the Ashuapmushuan River. It is mainly located in the region of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, between the municipality of La Doré and the city of Chibougamau, and covers an area of 4,488 square kilometres (1, 733 sq mi). This area was first visited by "Montagnais" Innu people who practiced the fur trade. With the arrival of Europeans in the area, several trading posts, called Postes du Roi, were established on the shores of lakes Ashuapmushuan and Nicabau. The word Ashuapmushuan is a term in Montagnais Innu language, meaning "where we see the moose".
