The rivière Jupiter is a watercourse flowing into Gulf of St. Lawrence, flowing in the municipality of L'Île-d'Anticosti, in the Minganie Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of North Shore, in province of Quebec, in Canada.
The Jupiter River is the most important waterway on Anticosti Island. This river has tourist attractions, in particular sport fishing for salmon, its striking landscapes in particular its canyon comprising a cliff reaching in places up to 100 m (330 ft) in height, the presence of thousands of deer and seals along the shores.[1]
A forest road serves the lower part of the valley of this river, connecting to the main road which pass in the northern part of the island. This road joins Pointe de Marbre (area of the Rivière à la Chute) and Pointe Sud-Ouest, which face the Honguedo Strait. In addition, another road (north–south direction) serves the upper part of this valley, thus joining the western part of Anticosti national park. Forestry is the main economic activity in this area; recreational tourism activities, second.[2]
