The ZEC Collin is a "zone d'exploitation contrôlée" (controlled harvesting zone) (ZEC) located in the unorganized territory of Lac-Matawin, in Matawinie Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Lanaudière, in Quebec, in Canada.
This ZEC is administered by "Association chasse et pêche Collin Inc". The area economy is based on forestry and recreational and tourism activities.
Collin ZEC occupies an area of 427 square kilometres (165 sq mi) inside the unorganized Lac-Matawin territory. Its territory is entirely in the forest.
Collin ZEC is bordered to the west by the Rouge-Matawin Wildlife Reserve, which is located north of the Mont-Tremblant National Park. The zec Boullé is located northwest of Zec Collin. On the south side, the ZEC Collin was separated from the Zec Lavigne by a narrow corridor which runs east to Matawin West River. The southern boundary of the ZEC Collin is located close to the Matawin West River and about six miles northwest of Saint-Michel-des-Saints, in the administrative region of Lanaudière.
The territory of the ZEC has two areas joined together by a narrow band. The entrance station of the ZEC is located in the northern part of its territory, near the mouth of the Matawin River which crosses the territory towards the southeast.
The toponym "Collin Zec" has originated from the lake Collin. The lake lies in the southern part of the zone d'exploitation contrôlée (controlled harvesting zone) (Zec). From a local surname, the name of this body of water is mentioned in 1888 on a map of the Township Brassard.
