Sault-au-Cochon, Quebec

Sault-au-Cochon is an unorganized territory in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec, Canada, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality. It is an unpopulated and undeveloped stretch of shoreline along the Saint Lawrence River that encompasses the promontory from Cape Tourmente to Petite-Rivière-Saint-François.
==History==
The Charlevoix Railway passes through the territory right along the Saint Lawrence River. The territory is named after a former rail stop on this line located about halfway between Cape Tourmente and Baie-Saint-Paul, or about north-east of Quebec City (). The stop is situated the mouth of a small stream that rushes down the steep slope of the promontory. In 1676 it was reported that the stream used to be called Gouffre ("Chasm") River but had been given the name Sault au Cochon since. This name comes from the presence of Porpoise and Beluga whale in the Saint Lawrence River that were formerly called ''cochons de mer'' ("sea pigs") in French. The name "Saut au Cochon" was used by Jean Deshayes on his map of 1695, and it was thereafter also applied to the surrounding interior lands that were not part of the seigneurial domain of the Quebec Seminary.
The territory has been used for logging and it was home to a sawmill in the 1930s. A small section of old-growth forest remains, some north-east of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré (). It covers 62 hectares and is characterized by Yellow birch and Sugar maple, some of which are up to 320 years old and have a diameter of .
