Manicouagan River

The Manicouagan River is a key waterway in northeastern Quebec, Canada, flowing through boreal forests and connecting the Manicouagan Reservoir—one of the world's largest annular lakes—to the Saint Lawrence River. It plays a vital role in hydroelectric power generation, utilizing dam systems to harness energy. The river supports local ecosystems, offering habitats for various fish and wildlife, and is important for regional transportation and recreation. Its natural surroundings and engineering developments make it significant for both environmental and economic reasons in Quebec.
