Yamaska National Park

Yamaska National Park (French: Parc national de la Yamaska, pronounced [paʁk nɑsjɔnal də la jamaska]) is a provincial park centered on the man-made Choinière Reservoir.

The park's proximity to Montreal (only 94 km) makes it a popular destination for outdoor activities in all seasons.

The 4.5 square kilometre Choinière Reservoir, which offers swimming, boating, and fishing was created on the North Yamaska River in 1977.

[3] The park has chosen the Northern Dusky Salamander as its emblem due to its relative rarity in Quebec.
