Moisie River & Village
Rivière Moisie
The mouth of a river famed for Atlantic salmon, about 25 km east of town; the small village at the mouth has a beach and an old church, and anglers gather in summer.
The Moisie is one of North America's most famous Atlantic salmon rivers. It flows south for hundreds of kilometers from the Labrador plateau and enters the Gulf of St. Lawrence at Moisie village. The small village at the mouth retains a 19th-century church. Nearby are a long beach and the remains of a Canadian Air Force base from the Second World War. In summer you can watch anglers fly-fishing for salmon (a fishing licence is required), or walk along the riverside path to see the sandbars at the mouth. It is about a 25-minute drive east of Sept-Îles along Route 138.
