The zec Tawachiche is a zone d'exploitation contrôlée (controlled harvesting zone) (zec) covering 318 km2, of which 310 km2 are located in Mékinac Regional County Municipality, in Mauricie, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. This zec is mainly located in the municipality of Lac-aux-Sables and in the non-organized territories of Lac-Masketsi and Lac-Lapeyrère. The zec territory is situated north of Sainte-Thècle and Saint-Tite. Located approximately 80 km north of Trois-Rivières, it is bordered to the east by Portneuf Wildlife Reserve.
The main entrance to the zec Tawachiche is located near the mouth of the Tawachiche West River in the Audy Station, 9.1 km from the intersection of the road 153 in the village of Hervey-Jonction, Quebec. The second entry into the territory of the zec is located north of the rivière aux eaux mortes; previously, it was located at the Milieu River. This entry is accessible via the Road 155 and taking the path of Carignan (Lac-à-Beauce), south of La Tuque. Visitors can also access the Zec territory in which seaplanes landing is possible on the lakes Masketsi, Roberge, the Bear and Hackett.[1]
The Association de chasse, pêche et villégiature Tawachiche inc. (Association of hunting, fishing and vacations Tawachiche Inc.) was granted the authority to administer the zec at its inception in 1978.[2]
