- Since 2016, the Parc régional des Grandes-Rivières du lac Saint-Jean has set up a unique off-road tourist circuit in Quebec: La Passerelle du 49%. The 236 km route is located in the public forest north of Lac Saint-Jean and required the construction of nine footbridges and the development of several kilometers of trails, some of which were existing forest roads. The circuit is accredited within the national quad (FQCQ) and snowmobile (FCMQ) federations and includes numerous accommodation, catering and refueling services. Local quad and snowmobile clubs are essential partners ;
- Integrating the territories of the MRCs of Domaine-du-Roy, Maria-Chapdelaine, Fjord-du-Saguenay and the Nord-du-Québec region, the footbridge over the Ashuapmushuan River opens up a territory several hundred kilometers long. The annual economic benefits associated with quad biking and snowmobiling in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean are estimated at $150 million.
