About the Pakuashipi – Saint-Augustin crossing
27 crossings between Pakuashipi and Saint-Augustin on Québec's Lower North Shore — a short hop across the Saint-Augustin river mouth in a region with no connecting road network.
Where the highway ends
The Basse-Côte-Nord is not served by a continuous road. Communities here are reached by sea, by air, or in winter by snowmobile trail, which is why the STQ treats maritime service as infrastructure rather than as a travel option. Saint-Augustin is one of the calls on the long NM Bella Desgagnés run from Rimouski to Blanc-Sablon; this local crossing links it with Pakuashipi on the opposite bank.
Innu territory
Pakuashipi is an Innu community, and the STQ describes the Lower North Shore as the ancestral land of the Innu nation. The ferry is the everyday connection between a First Nations village and the services on the other side of the water.
Practical
Sailing frequency here follows ice and weather rather than a fixed year-round pattern. Check current conditions with the operator before travelling.
