Large bull moose can be seen grazing alongside the roads.

Of course, you will have to be patient. You will not see all of these every day of the year.

In summer, a trip to the Salmonier Nature Park, about a 10 minute drive, will be a must for the person who loves nature. The park has many of the common flora and fauna that are native to the province.
