The hamlet
of Miquelon lies along the shores of the O’Sullivan
River linking Waswanipi and Pusticamica lakes, at the
junction of highway 113 leading to Chibougamau. Algonquin
Natives called this place Pakitamakak - above the mountain
-. The name Miquelon was given to the hamlet in honour
of Jacques Miquelon, Québec minister of Lands
and Forests in 1960. You will want to admire the waterfall
that flows under the old railroad and stop for a spell
in Miquelon to enjoy a good restaurant meal and fill
up on gas.
