General presentation
Akami-Uapishkᵁ–KakKasuak–Monts-Mealy
A vast subarctic park protecting mountains, tundra, forests and shorelines related to Innu and Inuit-Metasis culture.
The Akami-UapishkU–KakKasuak–Mealy Mountains discovery is centred around Akami-UapishkU–KakKasuak–Mealy Mountains, Mealy Mountains and Melville Lake National Park Reserve. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, forests, coastline and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 9 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Réserve de parc national Akami-Uapishkᵁ–KakKasuak–Monts-Mealy
Akami-UapishkU–KakKasuak–Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve protects Labrador from pale mountains, tundra, rivers and interior fjords. Access requires preparation and is suitable for accompanied travellers, attracted by isolated areas, Innu and Inuit cultures and almost roadless landscapes.
Place indismissible
Monts Mealy
The Mealy Mountains form a clear mass above Melville Lake, with bare ridges, cold valleys and exposed plateaus. Their beauty is kept at a distance: from water or air, they appear as a light barrier between boreal forest and high country of the Labrador.
Lake
Lac Melville
Melville Lake is a vast inner estuary where fresh water and saltwater mix under the reliefs of central Labrador. Its shores connect Happy Valley-Goose Bay, North West River and Sheshatshiu, with wide mountain views and a strong presence of local cultures.
River
North West River
North West River The village has an ancient position on the Labrador waterways, between Melville Lake, trading post and nearby communities. The village is interested in its museum, its views of the shore and its role as a meeting point between Innu history, Inuit presence, fur trade and contemporary life.
