The Sainte-Anne Ouest river is mainly served by the forest road R0320 and the rang Saguenay road which passes on the east bank of the Neilson river and the Bras du Nord.[1]
The main economic activities in the sector are forestry and recreational tourism activities.[1]
The surface of the Sainte-Anne Ouest river (except the rapids) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from late December to early March.
The Sainte-Anne Ouest river rises at the mouth of Lake Annette (length: 1.4 kilometres (0.87 mi); altitude 626 metres (2,054 ft)). This lake is located on the southern slope of the watershed boundary with Batiscan Lake (Quebec). Its mouth is located at:
From the mouth of Lake Annette, the Sainte-Anne Ouest river flows over 40.9 kilometres (25.4 mi) generally southward entirely in the forest zone, with a drop of 427 metres (1,401 ft).[1]
The course of the Sainte-Anne Ouest river descends in the following segments:
Upper course of the Sainte-Anne Ouest river (segment of 15.9 kilometres (9.9 mi))
Lower course of the Sainte-Anne Ouest river (segment of 25.0 kilometres (15.5 mi))
The Sainte-Anne Ouest river flows at the confluence of the Neilson River; this confluence becomes the source of the Bras du Nord. From there, the current generally descends south following the course of the latter to the northwest bank of the Sainte-Anne River. From this last confluence, the current descends on 76.0 kilometres (47.2 mi) generally towards the south and the southwest by following the course of the Sainte-Anne river, until the northwest bank of St. Lawrence River.[1]
The toponym "Rivière Sainte-Anne Ouest" was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[2]
