Ruisseau-Ferguson rewards those who crave big skies, forested horizons, and the kind of quiet that lets you hear the river long before you see it. Set within the expansive Avignon regional county area, this unorganized territory is defined by salmon-rich waterways, rolling highlands, and backroads that turn into snowmobile and ATV corridors as the seasons change. Weekends often mean casting a line at first light, paddling through mist, or day-tripping to the fossil cliffs and seaside trails of Parc national de Miguasha, an acclaimed UNESCO site with an excellent museum and family programs on the official Sépaq platform.
