Rivière à la Loutre (Ashuapmushuan River tributary)
The Rivière à la Loutre (Otter River) is a tributary of the Ashuapmushuan River in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada. This river is located within the unorganized territory of Passes-Dangereuses.
The river's name, French for "Otter River," reflects the historical presence of otters in the area. While precise hydrological data (length, drainage basin, average flow) may be limited or unavailable in publicly accessible sources, the Rivière à la Loutre contributes to the overall watershed of the Ashuapmushuan River, eventually flowing into Lac Saint-Jean.
Its significance lies primarily in its role within the larger ecological system of the region and potentially in recreational activities such as canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, although access and specific regulations should be verified. The river's watershed likely supports diverse flora and fauna characteristic of the boreal forest environment.
Further research into local governmental records or ecological studies would be necessary to provide a more comprehensive description of the Rivière à la Loutre's physical characteristics and ecological importance.
