It was on October 15, 1910 that the first settlers of what was to become the oldest city in Abitibi arrived via the Harricana River; one of the longest navigable waterways in Canada. The Harricana River, which flows toward James Bay, offers adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts alike over 500 km of pristine wilderness and fresh air. Amos holds future wealth: its fresh water. This liquid
treasure is among the best in the world. At the intersection of Hwy. 111 west and the chemin du Cimetière, a cycling path takes you to the heart of nature for an excursion leading to the sector of La Ferme, 8 km from Amos. Return to Amos via the Airport road (395) or Hwy. 111 West and take the cycling path that crosses the city.
