Mingan Archipelago

Starting but 124 miles from the end of the road along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River (Le Fleuve), the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve of Canada spreads about 109 miles eastward as it dots the coastline with over 2,000 islands and islets.

To the southwest a 9 to 10 hour drive away lies Quebec City.

To the east is a roadless coastline all the way to Newfoundland and Labrador.

To the north are tundra, lakes, bog and rock.

The archipelago includes Île Niapiskau and its limestone monoliths.
