For governance purposes it is mainly part of the Kent rural district, which is a member of the Kent Regional Service Commission. Small areas on the southern and western boundaries belong to the town of Beaurivage and the village of Nouvelle-Arcadie, respectively.

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the local service districts of Pointe-Sapin, east of the national park, and the parish of Carleton, to its west.
