The Natchiowatchouan River is a tributary of the Nottaway River (via Lake Soscumica), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in the Canadian province of Quebec, in Canada. Most of the course of the river flows into Millet Township.
Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector. Recreational tourism (especially hunting and fishing) comes second, thanks to the navigable water body of Lake Soscumica, including the tributaries.
The hydrographic slope of Lake Soscumica is accessible via the James Bay Highway (North-South direction) to 22.8 kilometres (14.2 mi) to the East. The west side of the lake is served by a winter road (North-South direction). The surface of the river is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
