Anticosti Island

Anticosti Island is a large, sparsely populated island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec, Canada. Primarily managed by SEPAQ (Société des établissements de plein air du Québec), the island is known for its abundant wildlife, including a significant white-tailed deer population, as well as its rugged coastline, forests, and peat bogs. Access is primarily by plane, with accommodations available at the MacDonald Lodge and other smaller facilities. The island provides a unique opportunity for those seeking a secluded and natural environment, with activities focused on outdoor adventure and wildlife viewing. The island's history is also notable, having been owned by Henri Menier, a French chocolate magnate, who introduced the deer population.
