The Ouananiche River is a tributary of lac Saint-Jean, flowing the territory of the town of Roberval, in the Le Domaine-du-Roy Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The upper part of the Ouananiche river valley is served by chemin du 4e rang and chemin du 3e rang; the lower part via route Harry-Gagnon and boulevard de l'Anse (route 169).[1]
Forestry is the main economic activity in most of this valley; nevertheless, agriculture is practiced in the lower part.[2]
The surface of the Ouananiche River is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, except the rapids areas; however, traffic on the ice is generally safe from mid-December to mid-March.
