George River (Inuktitut: Kangirsualujjuap Kuunga, 'River of the Great Bay'; Naskapi: Mushuan Shipu, 'River without Trees'; Innu: Metsheshu Shipu, 'Eagle River'),[2] formerly the East[a] or George's River,[3] is a river in northeastern Quebec, Canada, that flows from Lake Jannière mainly north to Ungava Bay.
The George is a big and wide river. It offers relatively easy and inexpensive access to Ungava Bay, compared to other major rivers of this area, making it popular for canoe camping trips.
