The Cascapedia River Museum
The Grand Cascapedia is a fabled river known by most fishermen for its large Atlantic salmon also called the Cascapedia
Giants. It is a river where fishing stories are told and the dreams of catching an Atlantic salmon come to life when one finally gets to throw a line over its sparkling waters. Its history tells the tale of a destination that was chosen by men and women of means, who came to the river in search of the sport of salmon fishing. To discover the history that this museum holds is to add to the experience of fishing on the Grand Cascapedia. A guided tour takes the visitor on an adventure into the illustrious life of a river that has captured the imagination of men and women from all walks of like.
The exhibition will be on view at the Cascapedia River Museum
