This river successively crosses the townships of Saint-Père and Moquin. The surface of the Saint-Père River is generally frozen from early December to late April. Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism activities, second.

The Saint-Père River valley is served by the forest road (East-West direction) passing north of Wetetnagami Lake] and another on the South side passing through the Wetetnagami Lake Biodiversity Reserve.

Geography edit

The hydrographic slopes near the Saint-Père River are:

The Saint-Père River begins in Senneterre, at the mouth of Lake Saint-Père (length: 8.4 kilometres (5.2 mi); maximum width: 2.3 kilometres (1.4 mi); altitude: 401 metres (1,316 ft)).

The mouth of Lake Saint-Père is located in Senneterre at:

From the mouth of Saint-Père Lake, the Saint-Père River flows over 28.8 kilometres (17.9 mi) according to the following segments:

  • 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi) westerly, to the outlet of a lake (coming from the South);
  • 11.0 kilometres (6.8 mi) northerly, forming a westerly curve to the southern boundary of the Township of Moquin;
  • 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) North in the canton of Moquin, until the discharge (coming from the East) of the “Lac de la Jonction”;
  • 7.7 kilometres (4.8 mi) westerly to its confluence with Wetetnagami Lake.[2]

The Saint-Père River flows to the bottom of a small bay on the eastern shore of Wetetnagami Lake which is crossed by the Wetetnagami River; the latter is discharged in the Nicobi Lake. The latter is the head lake of the Nicobi River. The latter flows north to discharge on the southeast bank of the Opawica River. The latter, in turn, goes up north to its confluence with the Chibougamau River; this confluence is the source of the Waswanipi River. The course flows westward through the northern portion of Lake Waswanipi, Goéland Lake (Waswanipi River) and Olga Lake (Waswanipi River), before pouring into the Matagami Lake which in turn flows into the Nottaway River, a tributary of Rupert Bay (James Bay).

The confluence of the Saint-Père River with the Wetetnagami Lake is located at:

Toponymy edit

At various times in history, this territory has been occupied by the Attikameks, the Algonquin and the Cree.

The toponym "Rivière Saint-Père" was officialized on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec, when it was created.[3]
