The origins of this name are from the Mi’kmaq word matapegiag, meaning “rivers junction”. In the 1600s, maps were showing the name Matapeguia.[4]Table of ContentsGeography[edit]History[edit]Toponym[edit]Protection[edit]Tourism[edit]Activities[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Bibliography[edit]External links[edit]Geography[edit]  North shore of Lake Matap\u00e9diaThe seignory of Lac-Matap\u00e9dia is included in the unorganized territory of the same name, Lac-Matap\u00e9dia, Quebec, in the La Matap\u00e9dia Regional County Municipality in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. Located on the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula in the Matap\u00e9dia Valley, it is part of the Gasp\u00e9sie touristic region.The seignory is a league long on the north shore of Lake Matap\u00e9dia, and covers an area of 68.3\u00a0km2 (26.4\u00a0sq\u00a0mi).[3][4] Formerly, the seignory covered the whole region around Lake Matap\u00e9dia.History[edit]The region was first inhabited by Mi’kmaq people before the arrival of Europeans in North America.On May 26, 1694, the seignory of Lac-Matapeguia has been granted to Charles-Nicolas-Joseph d’Amours de Louviers (or Damour de Louvi\u00e8re) by the New France’s governor, Comte de Frontenac, and the intendant, Champigny.[4] Charles d’Amours de Louviers died in 1728 without explicitly bequeathed the seignory. However Marie-Fran\u00e7oise Damours de Louvi\u00e8res inherited it. She had married Jean-Baptiste Moyse de R\u00e9mond, and bequeathed the seignory to their son Jean-Baptiste Raymond.[5] Having financial difficulties, he sold it for \u00a3700 in June 1796 to Patrick Langan.Originally, the seignory covered the whole territory surrounding Lake Matap\u00e9dia. In the 1830s during the building of Kempt and Matap\u00e9dia Roads there was no mentions of this seignory on the maps.[6] The parish of Sayabec had been canonically erected in 1896, and encompassed a portion of the seignory of Lac-Matap\u00e9dia. In the 1920s around 500 families lived in the parish of Sayabec.[7] To the east the parish of Val-Brillant, Quebec had been canonically erected in 1889 at the demand of Pierre Brillant, nicknamed the “Father of the Valley”.[8] This parish was completely included in the territory of the seignory. At the eastern tip of Lake Matap\u00e9dia where it becomes the Matap\u00e9dia River the parish of Amqui had been canonically erected in 1889, and included part of the seignory’s territory. In the 1920s Amqui had more than 3,000 inhabitants.[9]Toponym[edit]This toponymic designation is linked to that of the seigneury of Lac-Matap\u00e9dia. The governor Louis de Buade de Frontenac and the intendant Champigny had granted this seigneury on May 26, 1694, to Charles-Nicolas-Joseph Damours.[2]The toponym “Parc r\u00e9gional de la Seigneurie-du-Lac-Matap\u00e9dia” (Seigneurie-du-Lac-Matap\u00e9dia Regional Park) is linked to the name of the Seigneurie (lordship). This toponym was made official on November 27, 2015, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Qu\u00e9bec.[2]Protection[edit]A protected area, the refuge forest of Lac-Matap\u00e9dia, had been created to protect calypsos.A part of the seignory of Lac-Matap\u00e9dia had been constituted into a regional park.Tourism[edit]  There are seven foot trails of a total of 19\u00a0km (12\u00a0mi) doing loops.[10] The International Appalachian Trail runs across the seignory of Lac-Matap\u00e9dia[11]Several beaches are located along the Lake Matap\u00e9dia in the territory of the seignory. Those beaches are open to the public.The access period to the park from June to November is by road 132 in Amqui. Visitors can take the Anse-Saint-Jean bridge. Then, turn right onto Rang Saint-Jean-Baptiste, then turn left onto Route Labrie. Turn left on the Soucy road and continue for about ten kilometers.[1]Activities[edit]Outdoor enthusiasts can indulge in hiking or cycling on landscaped trails. In addition, they can practice water sports on beautiful Lake Matapedia, including birdwatching and beach activities in the summer season.[1]The park offers eight hiking trails with free access: the Promontoire (1.4\u00a0km (0.87\u00a0mi) for beginners), Lac Cach\u00e9 (1.4\u00a0km (0.87\u00a0mi) for beginners), Les Criques (4\u00a0km (2.5\u00a0mi) for beginners), the Petit Lac (4.9\u00a0km (3.0\u00a0mi) for beginners), the Cr\u00eates (3.8\u00a0km (2.4\u00a0mi) of intermediate category), the Trois Soeurs (5.8\u00a0km (3.6\u00a0mi), intermediate), l’H\u00e9ronni\u00e8re (6.1\u00a0km (3.8\u00a0mi), intermediate) and the Rochers (6.4\u00a0km (4.0\u00a0mi), intermediate).[1] The trails allow you to admire the panorama of the Matapedia valley.[12]The park website indicates that the Three Sisters Trail largely corresponds to the International Appalachian Trail. In addition, the return to the parking lot (starting point) is via the Coul\u00e9e trail for shared use.[1]See also[edit]References[edit]^ a b c d e BaliseQu\u00e9bec – RandoQu\u00e9bec – Seigneurie-du-Lac-Matap\u00e9dia Regional Park^ a b c d Commission de toponymie du Qu\u00e9bec – Bank of place names – File: Parc r\u00e9gional de la Seigneurie-du-Lac-Matap\u00e9dia.^ a b (in French) Un nouveau statut pour la seigneurie du Lac Matap\u00e9dia?
