What makes Lake Esker area so special? What is there to do in the surroundings? What is special about the fauna and flora of Esker Lake? Put on your boots and go for a hike on an esker on the watershed between Quebec and Labrador. Through this excursion you will discover unique places in Labrador.

Eskers are postglacial remains forming long narrow ridges across the tundra like a railway embankment, often sinuous ridges composed of stratified sediments and marking the previous location of a glacial tunnel. The Quebec-Labrador Peninsula is a region where countless eskers snake the tundra for miles through mountains, lakes and rivers.

As you walk on the eskers, keep a close eye on the local wildlife. Birds nest on the banks of the Eskers where micro green oasis’ have formed, and it is a favourite place for wolves and foxes to have a den. With a little luck you could even encounter a unique species of tundra-dwelling black bear. It is also in this region that during migration, caribou cross the vast plains of the George River Plateau. 
Eskers also have some of the purest water sources in the world. Low in minerals and with excellent Ph, esker water has an almost perfect balance. This is an opportunity to fill your water bottle and taste this water as if tasting the sky. Cycling on esker ridges is a fun activity you will remember! Old caribou trails lead up esker ridges, and the view up there is breathtaking and you always have unpredictable encounters with wildlife.
