    • The Zec des Martres is a "zone d'exploitation contrôlée" (controlled harvesting zone), in the unorganized territory of Lac-Pikauba, in Charlevoix Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, Quebec, Canada.
    The Zec is located in public lands. It is managed by the Association de plein air des Martres, which is a non-profit organization.

    Geography


    Founded in 1978, the Zec des Martres covers 424 square kilometers and includes 219 lakes. The Zec is entirely in forested area.
    The Zec is bordered by the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve to the west; the Grands-Jardins National Park (Parc national des Grands-Jardins), to the south-west; the Municipality of Saint-Urbain, to the southeast of Zec du Lac-au-Sable, to the east; and the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie National Park to the north.
    Route 381 linking Baie Saint-Paul to Saguenay runs more or less along the western boundary of the Zec . A segment of the road in the Hautes-Gorges crosses the eastern part of the Zec , in the north-south direction.
    The Zec offers a hosting service at "Chalet de la Cheminée" (Villa of the Fireplace) and 17 campgrounds, all accessible by car. Many lakes in the Zec are equipped with a ramp to the water.


    Toponymy


    The name "Zec des Martres" takes its name from Lac des Martres (Lake of Martens) which is the largest lake of the Zec . A marten is a carnivorous mammal with a long, supple body, a bushy tail and brown fur. In 1886, Lac des Martres was described by the land surveyor F. Vincent, who noted that it was surrounded by fir and spruce, and that there was trout in the lake.
    The name "Zec des Martres" was formalized on August 5, 1982.
