Macamic (Colombourg), La Sarre et l'Abitibi-Ouest
Over 8,500 years ago, the mountain at Fred formed a small island in the former Ojibway-Barlow Sea that covered the territory. On this mound rich in history, you will walk on large rocky caps dotted with small gray pines. The trail also takes a fabulous "river of rocks". In the Ojibway Sea, large stones were transported to the island by ice in the winter, while in the summer, waves drove small rocks and sand off the island.

Natural Environment
History
Over 8,500 years ago, Fred’s Mountain was a small island in the ancient Ojibway-Barlow Sea that covered the area. At that time, large stones were transported to the island by ice in winter, while in summer, the waves would push smaller rocks and sand off the island.
Toponymy
Fred Roy was the owner of the land on this mountain. He built a camp at the summit where he lived during the summer, taking advantage of the constant winds that kept the flies away! In winter, Fred Roy lived in a log cabin located at the base of the mountain. Later, he built himself a new home made of wood and cement.
