Rivière Nastapoka is a remote and wild river flowing east to west through the vast subarctic wilderness of Nord-du-Québec, ultimately emptying into Hudson Bay. The river flows through Tursujuq National Park, the largest provincial park in Canada and the largest protected area in eastern North America, encompassing over 26,000 km². This extraordinary setting makes the Nastapoka one of the most pristine and ecologically significant fishing destinations in the entire country. The river holds a unique place in both natural history and Indigenous culture, having long served as a traditional meeting place for Cree and Inuit families. Its waters support a remarkable and rare assemblage of fish species, including a population of Atlantic salmon that represents one of the northernmost salmon rivers within Québec's distribution range.
