The mission of the Centre d’interprétation de la nature du lac Boivin is to preserve a 1114-acre area composed of swamps, marshes, and forests. Classified an IBA (Important Bird Area), the marsh provides shelter and a rest area for many birds. Accessible year round, its trails featuring two 10-m towers and boardwalks, will take you into diverse habitats where small animals can be observed. A trail map is available at the reception centre.
