At the heart of the Gaspé Peninsula, the Appalachian Chic-Chocs form the backbone of this forest-covered peninsula. The Réserve faunique des Chic-Chocs lies adjacent to the Parc national de la Gaspésie to the east. This park even encloses part of the reserve. The reserve is geographically located at the perimeter of a protected area which makes it a preferred site for wildlife.

The elaborate relief of the Appalachians offers amazed hikers a truly breathtaking view of the landscape. To the west rise the distinctive bare summits of Blanche-Lamontagne (940 m), Vallières-de-Saint-Réal (940 m) and Hog’s Back (830 m) while in the east, Mount Brown (920 m) towers over a less rugged landscape. Activities such as fishing, hunting and hiking can be enjoyed amid the monumental decor of the mountains.
