Rivière aux Saumons (Anticosti Island)

The Rivière aux Saumons, meaning "Salmon River" in French, is a river located on Anticosti Island, Quebec, Canada. It is one of the larger rivers on the island and is known for its salmon runs, a significant factor in its naming. The river flows generally south into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

The Rivière aux Saumons is a popular destination for sport fishing, particularly for Atlantic salmon. The surrounding area is largely wilderness, typical of Anticosti Island, characterized by forests, peat bogs, and limestone cliffs. Access to the river is often limited, contributing to the preservation of its natural state.

The river's ecosystem supports a variety of flora and fauna, beyond just salmon. Further research on specific ecological studies conducted on the Rivière aux Saumons would provide more detail on the biodiversity of the region. The river's watershed plays an important role in the overall hydrology of the southern part of Anticosti Island.
