Recognized as a favourite waterfowl habitat, the Marais Antoine is one of the largest marshes in the region with its 2.8 km. Designed by Ducks unlimited, you will find it in the heart of the countryside, on the edge of the immense lake Abitibi. During the summer season, the marsh offers a magnificent spectacle that is constantly renewed. The scirpes, the carex, the cattails and the ribbons grow in abundance; 150 species of birds inhabit it or fly over it. Walking the trails, you cross fields before entering a swampy forest through a wooden sidewalk. You must then climb a hill covered with mixed forest composed of black spruce, aspen, birch and some larches to reach the top, a viewing point on a rocky cape that gives you an overview of the marsh as well as Lake Abitibi and the dam controlling the water level. A footbridge on stilts allows you to access the inside of the marsh.
