The Causapscal economy is based on forestry, agriculture, and tourism. These vocations were strengthened with the construction of the Intercolonial Railway at the end of the 19th century. Lord Mount Stephen made Causapscal a prized spot among British, American and Canadian English high society by establishing a fishing camp around 1870. To this day, this camp and the Atlantic salmon fishing still drive the Matapedian tourist industry.

The junction of the Causapscal and Matapédia salmon rivers at the centre of the town, and the green setting formed by the neighbouring mountains scattered with houses paint in an enchanting picture. The church built on a hill overlooks this magnificent natural and architectural setting. A tour that includes visits to the Matamajaw Historical Site, the Maison Dr Joseph-Frenette, Les Berges et Les Mémoires (riverbanks and memories) hiking trails, as well as various exhibits and events are to be seen and visited during the summer months.
