The Ouiatchouaniche River is a tributary of Lac Saint-Jean, flowing successively in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ashuapmushuan, the municipality of Sainte-Hedwidge and the city 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 Ouiatchouaniche river valley is served by forest roads.[1]
Forestry is the main economic activity in the upper and intermediate part of this valley; agriculture, in the lower part, except the urban area near the mouth.[2]
The surface of the Ouiatchouaniche 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.
