Réserve Faunique du Cap Tourmente (Cap Tourmente Wildlife Reserve) Review

About 8 km (5 miles) northeast of Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré, this nature reserve sees gatherings of more than 800,000 greater snow geese every October and May, with an average of 100,000 birds coming per day. The park harbors hundreds of kinds of birds and mammals, and more than 700 plant species. This enclave on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River also has 18 km (11 miles) of hiking trails; naturalists give guided tours.
