Zec Borgia travel guide

The Zec Borgia is a controlled exploitation zone (Zec) in the northeast part of La Tuque Region, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in Quebec.

This Zec was incorporated in 1978, following the abolition of private hunting & fishing clubs on public lands. This Zec is administered by the Asitabec hunting and fishing association inc. The toponym "Zec Borgia" is derived from "lake Borgia" and "canton of Borgia". The name of the canton evokes the memory of Joseph le Vasseur Borgia (1773-1839) who practised the profession of lawyer, was a newspaper owner and was a member of the parliament of Lower Canada for 18 years.

Zec Borgia has three vocations: forestry, wildlife and recreation. The main recreational and tourist activities on the territory of the Zec are: hiking, picking berries or mushrooms, hunting, fishing, nautical activities (swimming, canoeing, kayaking, boating), mountain biking, mountain biking, camping (equipped or semi-furnished), and canoe-camping. In winter, users can also practise ice fishing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.

Understand

Zec Borgia covers an area of 556 km2 (215 sq mi). It is north of the village of La Bostonnais and north of the town of La Tuque. Its hydrographic slope is mainly part of the Saint-Maurice river.

The northern limit of the Zec Borgia constitutes the limit of the administrative regions of Mauricie and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. Its eastern part is adjacent to route 155 and to Zec Kiskissink. Its southeastern part generally forms the route of Route 155, except for the road segment between Deschênes Creek and Lake Ouitouche, because a forest area (west of Route 155) occupied by the territory of the outfitter Le Rochu is excluded from the territory of the ZEC. The territory of Club Oswego borders on the Zec to the south; the territory of the Domaine Touristique La Tuque outfitter separates the Zec de la Croche (located to the west) and the Zec Borgia.

The main fish species are: pike, walleye, brook trout and lake trout. The main hunted species of land animals are: moose, white-tailed deer, black bear, grouse.

The Zec Borgia reception station is located at the eastern limit of the Zec, along Route 155 linking La Tuque and Lac Saint-Jean.
