Mount Lyall rises in Quebec’s Gaspésie National Park in the Chic-Choc Mountains above Lac Saint-Anne, within the rugged highlands of the Gaspé Peninsula. Named for T.O. Lyall of Lyall Construction, which held regional mineral rights around 1928, the name was officially formalized in 1968. A marked trail climbs through forest to the summit, with viewpoints near the top. The mountain is also tied to an agate mine in Lemieux Township on the site of an ancient volcano dating back 350 million years, where research and excavation led to important finds in 1981. Open to the public since 1993, the area also supports skiing development begun in 1990.
