Along the Île aux Sables channel lies a prime location for observing Great Blue Herons, especially during nesting season when parents return to their nests to feed their young. This remarkable concentration of birds is due to the nearby Grande Île, home to the largest heron colony in North America, with more than 3,000 individuals. Swimming and fishing are also popular activities in this area. The channel can be safely accessed through its upstream entrance. However, boats with deeper drafts should avoid the eastern exit during low-water periods.
