The upper part of the Rivière aux Saumons valley is served notably by the Chemin de la Branche-Ouest, the Chemin de la Petite-Rivière, the Chemin de la Rivière-aux-Saumons; the intermediate part is served by several forest roads; the lower part is served by chemin du rang Saint-Paul (route 167), chemin du well, chemin Paul-Émile Tremblay, boulevard du Jardin. While the mouth area is served by the chemin du rang de la Rivière-aux-Saumons.[1][2]

Apart from an agricultural area in the lower part, forestry (mainly forestry) constitutes the main economic activity in this valley.[1]

The surface of the Salmon River is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, except the rapids areas; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March.


Geography


The Rivière aux Saumons rises at the mouth of Lac le Barrois (length: 3.9 km (2.4 mi); altitude: 431 m (1,414 ft)) in a forest area in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ashuapmushuan. This misshapen lake is mainly fed by the Indienne River (coming from the south), the Lerole stream (coming from the west), the outlet of a small lake and the outlet of Lake Shitney. This source is located at:

From its source, the Salmon River flows over 44.7 km (27.8 mi) with a drop of 315 m (1,033 ft), especially in agricultural and village areas at the end of the route, depending on the segments following:

Upper course of the Salmon River (segment of 24.9 km (15.5 mi))

Lower course of the Rivière aux Saumons (segment of 20.1 km (12.5 mi))

The Salmon River flows on the south bank of the Ashuapmushuan River, opposite the Allard Island. This confluence is located at:

From the mouth of the Rivière aux Saumons, the current descends the course of the Ashuapmushuan river to the southeast on 18 km (11 mi), then crosses Lac Saint-Jean east on 41.1 km (25.5 mi) (ie its full length), follows the course of the Saguenay River via the Petite Décharge on 172.3 km (107.1 mi) eastwards to Tadoussac where it merges with the estuary of Saint Lawrence.[1]


Toponymy
