Causapscal's future was established at the

Intercontinental Railway. The main link with the industrial
centers made the region more accessible and encouraged the
booming wood industry. Lord Mount Stephen's fishing domain
attracted members of British, American and Canadian high-society.
Later sold and renamed The Matamajaw Salmon Club, the domain
is now a protected historical site.Even today, salmon fishing
is the main tourist attraction of the Matapedia valley.
