Nature
Mount Sir-Wilfrid is a prominent mountain massif in Quebec’s Laurentian region, in Montagne-du-Diable Regional Park near Ferme-Neuve and northwest of Mont-Laurier. Its highest summit, Sommet du Diable, reaches 783 metres, and the summit area includes three other named peaks: Belzébuth, Garde-feu, and Dawn Wall. As the park’s principal mountain, it is a center for hiking and outdoor recreation. Its older popular name, Montagne du Diable, comes from local tradition that links the mountain to the Wendigo, an evil spirit in Algonquin mythology, and from the older term Windigo used for a nearby stream and lake. The name Sir-Wilfrid, assigned in 1932, honors Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier.
