Mont Saint-Magloire

Mont Saint-Magloire, a 917-metre mountain in Saint-Philémon, Quebec, rises in the Notre Dame Mountains as part of the Massif du Sud, with its summit in Massif-du-Sud Regional Park. Reached by wooded trails and also accessible by snowmobile in winter, it is valued for summit views and for its high-elevation boreal forest, an unusual habitat this far south of the St. Lawrence River. Its slopes support varied trees and wildlife, while its western side includes the protected Claude-Mélançon Ecological Reserve, where old conifer stands shelter uncommon bird species rarely found south of the St. Lawrence. Its name honors Father Joseph-Magloire Rioux, the area's first priest.
