Montagne du Fourneau

Montagne du Fourneau is a mountain in the Lac-Témiscouata National Park in Quebec, Canada. It owes its name to the fact that during the first half of the 19th century, the mountain's limestone deposits were used to fuel a lime kiln at Fort Ingall. It was then used as forest land by the owners of the Madawaska Seignory. The unconceded lands of the seigneury were acquired by the Quebec government in 1969. The mountain is home to a red pine-white pine forest, a forest group that was classified as an exceptional forest ecosystem in 2003 due to its rarity in Eastern Quebec. This rarity is attributable to the low number of forest fires in the region, due to its high humidity. The site is also home to the largest white-tailed deer wintering habitat in the Lower St. Lawrence. It was included in the Lac-Témiscouata National Park when it was created back in 2009.
