Musquanousse River
The Musquanousse River () is a salmon river in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec, Canada. It flows south and empties into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Location The Musquanousse River is long from its source. It forms as a stream that drains Lake Musquanousse, which is long and wide. The river then traces an erratic path through many lakes, including Lake Marie-Claire, Lake Des Outardes and Lake Missu before flowing for about to the Gulf. In this section the river descends through falls and numerous rapids towards a broad T-shaped bay, which connects by a narrow neck with the Gulf. The mouth of the Musquanousse River is about east of the Musquaro River. It is in the municipality of Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent in Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent Regional County Municipality. Name In 1694 Louis Jolliet wrote of the Mascoüarou and smaller Mascoüarouchis rivers. The name means "little river of the black bear tail". The surveyor J. B. A. Gould gave the lake and river this name in 1899 in a survey report. The Musquanousse River is also known as the "Little Musquaro River". Description The Dictionnaire des rivières et lacs de la province de Québec (1914) says of the river, Basin The Musquanousse River
