In Canada, the East Outardes River valley is mainly served by (from the mouth): the Rivière-aux-Outardes road, the Montée de Rockburn, the Gore road, the Williams road rang des Botreaux, chemin du rang Dumas, Montée Sharpe, chemin du 8e rang, chemin Wilson, route 202, route 209 and chemin from Covey Hill.

The river surface is generally frozen from mid-December to the end of March. Safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation.
