Manicouagan County spans a dramatic sweep of boreal forest and coastline along the St. Lawrence, where world‑class hydro engineering meets big‑sky wilderness. Outdoor lovers prize the Uapishka (Groulx) Mountains and the vast Manicouagan Reservoir, while guided visits to the Manic‑2 and Manic‑5 sites with Hydro‑Québec bring the region’s energy story to life through engaging, family‑friendly tours. For science‑minded explorers, Station Uapishka supports research and offers access to unforgettable high‑alpine trekking.
Daily life balances nature with convenience. In Baie-Comeau, you’ll find lively dining, festivals, and local shops, plus shoreline parks and groomed trails. Birders and beachcombers can roam long, quiet sands and dunes nearby, and the Godbout–Matane crossing makes getaways easy from Godbout to Matane via the Société des traversiers du Québec. Weekend road trips to larger services in Sept-Îles or cultural outings in Saguenay are straightforward.
Families appreciate practical amenities. Public schools serve neighborhoods across the county, and post‑secondary options include the Cégep de Baie‑Comeau. Regional healthcare is coordinated by the CISSS de la Côte‑Nord, with modern facilities and front‑line clinics. For permits, recreation, and community programming, municipal services are readily accessible online. Whether you’re moving for outdoor access, career opportunities in energy and forestry, or the tight‑knit feel of coastal communities, Manicouagan offers room to grow.
