(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The Cascouia river valley is served by the route 169 and the \u201croute des B\u00e2tisseurs\u201d which bypasses the northern part of the lake. This valley is also served by a few secondary forest roads, especially for forestry and recreational tourism activities.[2]Recreational and tourist activities are the main economic activity around Cascouia Bay, especially vacationing around Lac du Camp; hydroelectric activities, second; forestry, third.The surface of the Cascouia River is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.

The Cascouia River is located in the former municipality of lac-K\u00e9nogami.The main watersheds neighboring the Cascouia River are:north side: Chamois lake, Potvin lake, Bruy\u00e8re River, Dorval River, Dup\u00e9r\u00e9 brook, Saguenay River;east side: Kenogami Lake, rivi\u00e8re aux Sables, Chicoutimi River;south side: Kenogami Lake, Pikauba River, ruisseau L’Abb\u00e9;west side: Vert Lake, Rivi\u00e8re des Aulnaies, Pont Flottant stream, La Belle Rivi\u00e8re.The Cascouia river originates from a small unidentified lake (length: 0.7 kilometres (0.43\u00a0mi); altitude: 207 metres (679\u00a0ft)) in the shape of a V. This source is located at:From its source (small unidentified lake), the Cascouia river flowed on 12.0 kilometres (7.5\u00a0mi) with a drop of 57 metres (187\u00a0ft) entirely in the forest zone, according to the following segments:4.0 kilometres (2.5\u00a0mi) towards the south-east by crossing the current Camp lake on 1.3 kilometres (0.81\u00a0mi), until its mouth;3.5 kilometres (2.2\u00a0mi) towards the south-east crossing the current Cascouia bay, up to the Cascouia pass;4.6 kilometres (2.9\u00a0mi) south-east across the Cascouia pass, to the natural mouth of the river.[3]The old course of the Cascouia River emptied into Epiphanes Bay on the north shore of Kenogami Lake; following the erection of dams on Kenogami River, the old course is largely under the waters of this dam lake. This former confluence was located at:From the mouth of the Cascouia river, the current crosses the Kenogami Lake for 19.1 kilometres (11.9\u00a0mi) east to the barrage de Portage-des-Roches, then follows the course of the Chicoutimi river on 26.2 kilometres (16.3\u00a0mi) towards the east, then the northeast and the course of the Saguenay river on 114.6 kilometres (71.2\u00a0mi) towards the east up to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.[3]Toponymy[edit]Cascouia Bay is frequently called \u201cLac Cascouia\u201d, due to its isolation from the central part of Kenogami Lake.One of the first known mentions of the Innu word “Cascaouia” is attributed to the surveyor Joseph-Laurent Normandin, in 1732, who wrote in his Journal: “… There is a large bay, which is bordered by jongs and grasses, that the Indians call Les Gachek8illaces de Quinongamingue \u201d. Normandin also uses the form “Baye des Gachek8illasses”. By modifying its primitive form in order to facilitate its use, the first explorers perpetuated this Amerindian term meaning “grasslands” or “rushes”. For some, it is actually cattails. Several orthographic variants exist for this appellation, in particular: Kascouia, Kaskauia, Kaskovia, Kaskouia and Kashkouia. Other Amerindian spelling noted: Kashkouillasses.[4]The toponym \u201crivi\u00e8re Cascouia\u201d was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Qu\u00e9bec.[5]See also[edit]References[edit]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/cascouia-river-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Cascouia River – Wikipedia"}}]}]
