The Kanishushteu River is a tributary of Ashuapmushuan River, flowing into the unorganized territory of Lac-Ashuapmushuan, in the Le Domaine-du-Roy Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in province of Quebec, in Canada.
The lower part of the Kanishushteu river valley is mainly served by a forest road; another forest road serves the upper part. These roads connect indirectly to route 167 which is located to the southwest.[1][2]
Forestry (mainly forestry) is the main economic activity in this valley; second, recreational tourism activities. The course of this river is entirely located in the Ashuapmushuan Wildlife Reserve.[1]
