Cabano Attractions
Cabano, the center of the timber industry, lies in the far south of Québec Province near its border with New Brunswick and the U.S. state of Maine on the TransCanada Highway.
Situated in some most charming countryside nearby is Lake Témiscouta, once an important staging-post in the transport of timber between the St Lawrence and the St John River catchment area.
In the past, especially in the 19th c., there were constant disputes between the owners of land belonging to Québec and New Brunswick on the one hand and their U.S. neighbors on the other.

Fort Ingall
Some 2km / 1.25mi out of Cabano on Route 232 lies Fort Ingall, built of wood in 1839 and which at one time housed 200 soldiers. The fort was lovingly restored a few years ago. A small museum explains how the officers and men lived here and what disputes and clashes they were faced with. From the terrace of the fort surrounded with stout palisades there is a lovely view over Lake Témiscouata. There is also a beautiful picnic site here.
