About

Nibiischii — "Land of Waters, where the great natural waters of the North are born" — manages two wildlife reserves at the heart of Eeyou Istchee James Bay: the Lacs-Albanel-Mistassini-et-Waconichi wildlife reserve and the Assinica wildlife reserve. Together these territories cover more than 24,000 km² of thousands of lakes and spectacular rivers, including the vast Lac Mistassini and Lac Waconichi. Fishing is king here: four marquee species — walleye, northern pike, brook trout and lake trout — await your line, with certain lakes allocated by lottery draw. You can stay in a cozy rustic log chalet or a floating chalet on Lac Waconichi, in a prospector camp (MÛS, Nichikw) or a CoolBox at Lac Albanel and Baie Pénicouane, or go serviced camping, rustic camping and canoe-camping across the whole territory, all the way to remote Lac Robineau and Lac Troilus at Square Tail Lodge. Managed by the Corporation Nibiischii of Mistissini, this Cree-tourism territory offers an authentic northern experience of water, rock and wide-open wilderness.

Access : By road · By boat

Road access in Nord-du-Québec (Eeyou Istchee James Bay), north of Chibougamau and Mistissini. The Rupert welcome station is at km 252 of Route 167 North; the Waconichi chalets welcome station is on the Route du Nord. NB: the Rupert welcome station is currently being rebuilt — report to the Waconichi station during the works. Square Tail Lodge (Lac Troilus): from the Rupert station, take the Route du Nord for 108 km of gravel, turn right at the junction and follow the signs to the outfitter, for a total of about 138 km of gravel. A 4x4 or high-clearance vehicle is strongly advised; carry two spare tires (frequent flats); no cellular coverage on the territory — satellite communication recommended. Some sites (Waconichi floating chalets, remote-lake camps) are reached by boat, canoe or kayak.
