Île Quarry
The island with the most varied sea stack scenery in the archipelago. A loop trail passes through stone pillars, peat bogs and wind-sculpted dwarf forest.
Quarry Island lies west of Île Niapiskau. Its loop trail is about 4 km long, passing clusters of flowerpot-shaped sea stacks, limestone caves, and dwarf trees and peat bogs shaped by the wind. The island has a Parks Canada campground and visitor cabins, making it a popular choice for overnight stays in the archipelago. Tour boats often combine Quarry Island with Île Niapiskau for a half-day or full-day trip. Before departing, check the tides and boat schedules at the park reception centre in Havre-Saint-Pierre.
