History

In 1978, following the abolition of private clubs by the Government of Québec, Zec de la Rivière-Blanche was formed, initially covering an area of 449 square kilometres (173 sq mi) in the Portneuf County, Quebec. Zec has been administered by the "L'Association sportive Miguick inc" (Athletic Association Miguick) (ASM).

In the early 1980s, the land area was increased by 280 square kilometres (110 sq mi) by adding a part of the famous Club hunting and fishing Seigneurie du Triton (Lordship of Triton). The present territory of the Zec covers 729.0 square kilometres (281.5 sq mi).

Zec is bounded on the south by Portneuf Wildlife Reserve, on the west by the Zec Jeannotte, on the north by the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve and on the east by the Zec Batiscan-Neilson. The Batiscan River is the western boundary of Zec, north of Miguick River.

White River (Portneuf Regional County Municipality)

The White River covers a large catchment area (adjacent to the west side of the upper basin of the Rivière-à-Pierre), taking its source in White Lake where a dam is fitted at its mouth. More than a dozen small surrounding lakes flow into the White Lake. Down, the waters of the White River flow into a series of lakes to the village of Rivière-à-Pierre lakes Lupe, Ralph, Gilles, Tony, lietto and Lorenzo.

Restoration of lakes

In 2012, with the financial participation of $81,500 in grants, four lakes of the Zec de la Rivière-Blanche have been treated: Lastre, Zigzag, Palme, Dual and Bert. This initiative will increase the potential for fishing. These partners are the Fondation de la faune du Québec, the Regional Conference of the Capitale-Nationale (implementation PDIRT), Ministry of Natural Resources (Phase II) and Guy Chevrette Foundation.

Restored in 2009, Swayne Lake is the first of the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale to have been restored. It was reopened to fishing in 2013. Followed, in 2014, lakes "Quatre-Baies" and Simard; and in 2016, the five lakes sub-basin of Lake Lastre. During the weekend of Easter 2013, the Zec was featured in the issue "Semaine Verte" (Green Week) at Radio Canada, in a report on the restoration of lakes with rotenone.
