The geology

The park is part of the Canadian Shield, which began to form about 3.8 billion years ago. It is formed of magma that has poured out in successive layers under the ocean. From 2.79 billion years, a new background takes shape covering the entire Abitibi-Témiscamingue.

From this rock, several rocky massifs of the region whose Abijévis hills and faults will be formed a few million years later during major upheavals.

The geomorphology

The last ice age, Wisconsin, which began about 100,000 years ago, is responsible for the current shape of the territory. This glacier covered the entire territory of Abitibi and has progressed to the state of Wisconsin. Traces of erosion and several formations testify to its presence. For example, there are glacial streaks created by the friction of materials transported by the glacier and a network of giant pots located in the path Les marmites.

the hydrology

The main hydrographic feature of the territory is the passage of the water divide between the St. Lawrence and James Bay watersheds. This line runs between Lake La Haie and Lake Sault. There are nearly 80 lakes. Located in the hills, they are small and their waters are clear, which is exceptional at a regional level. Located in the plain, they are typical of the Abitibi: large, shallow and their waters are cloudy and brown.

Wildlife

The two wildlife representatives of the boreal forest are moose and beaver. They are ubiquitous in the park. The diversity of the territory in terms of geomorphology, hydrology and flora contributes to the abundance and diversity of animal species by offering a wide variety of habitats. Some species are at the limit of their range, such as the Grey-throated Warbler and the Long-tailed Grouse. Others are exceptional for the region such as Touladi.

Flora

The vegetation cover of the park is boreal forest. It consists mainly of young forest stands related to repeated fire passages. This promotes the growth of pioneer species such as aspen poplar and grey pine. A little more rare species for the region such as yellow birch and black ash are added to the landscape. The particular morphology of the fault lakes has allowed the creation of small exceptional habitats that are home to very rare species such as Gymnocarpium jessoense.
