Forestry is the main economic activity of this valley; recreational tourism activities, second.The route 404, connecting the village of Clova, Quebec to the South Bay of Bureau Lake (Gouin Reservoir) serves the lower part of the Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o River; this road connects to the south-east the route 400 which goes to Gouin Dam. Some secondary forest roads are in use nearby for forestry and recreational tourism activities.The surface of the Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o River is usually frozen from mid-November to the end of April, however, safe ice circulation is generally from early December to the end of March.Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Geography[edit]Toponymy[edit]Notes and references[edit]See also[edit]History[edit]Thanks to the arrival of the Transcontinental Railway around 1910, Oskelaneo River Station contributed to the development of the village of Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o. The main economic activity was forestry. Nevertheless, recreational tourism activities developed rapidly, notably with the first raising of the Gouin Reservoir level in 1918, then the second raising in 1948. Given the current level of water in the lake, the village of Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o offers access to boating a direct access road to Gouin Reservoir down the Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o River. In the past, prior to the development of motorized forest roads, travelers were getting off the train at the Oskelaneo River station and using the services of outfitters for hunting and fishing trips.Geography[edit]The surrounding hydrographic slopes of the Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o River are:north side: Bureau Lake (Gouin Reservoir), Nemio River, Du M\u00e2le Lake, Toussaint Lake, Marmette Lake, McSeeney Lake;east side: Benjamin Lake, Sulte Lake, Francoeur Lake, Parker Creek, De La Galette River (Gouin Reservoir);south side: Sulte Lake, Bazin River, Douville River, Gosselin River;west side: Tessier Lake (Gouin Reservoir), Saraana Bay, Flapjack River, Bignell Creek.The Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o River originates at the mouth of Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o Lake (length: 15.8 kilometres (9.8\u00a0mi), altitude: 404 metres (1,325\u00a0ft)). The village of Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o is located on the West shore of this lake. The mouth of this head lake is located at:From the mouth of the head lake, the course of the Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o River flows over 12.6 kilometres (7.8\u00a0mi) according to the following segments:3.7 kilometres (2.3\u00a0mi) northeasterly entering the Achintre Township, in a marsh zone, to the confluence of the Mistatikamekw River (coming from the Southeast);5.4 kilometres (3.4\u00a0mi) northwesterly in the marsh zone to the outlet (from the southwest) of Lake Achintre;3.5 kilometres (2.2\u00a0mi) northeasterly in a marsh zone to the mouth of the river.[3]The mouth of the Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o River is located at:Toponymy[edit]Until 1918, when the erection of the La Loutre Central, which will create the first level designated then Gouin Reservoir, the Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o River was considered to be one of the tributaries of the Saint-Maurice River), feeding the Bureau Lake (Gouin Reservoir).This hydronym appears in cartographic documents at least since the first half of the 19th century, i.e. on the map of Charles Magnus (1857), in the form of Oskelanaio, then that of Eug\u00e8ne Tach\u00e9 in 1870. In 1914, this river was designated Escalana by Eug\u00e8ne Rouillard and on maps in particular in 1935. The designation “Escalona” is also indicated on maps of 1924 and 1926. Escalana (or Escalona) derives from osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o which is an Algonquin word meaning “bones”.Nevertheless, some sources consider that osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o results from the deformation and fusion of the words tchiask, meaning “gull”, and sakegane, meaning “lake”; consequently, this hydronym would be translated as “gull lake” or “gull flight”. In Atikamekw, the Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o River becomes  “Kiackoranan Sipi”, meaning “river of the gull caught in the net”. One [Canadian National] railway station has been designated “Oskelaneo River”. The term “Oskelaneo”, alone, was the name of a post office (1921-1973) serving what is now a hamlet.[5]The toponym “Osk\u00e9lan\u00e9o River” was formalized on December 5, 1968 at the Commission de toponymie du Qu\u00e9bec, when it was created.[6]Notes and references[edit]^ “Atlas of Canada”. atlas.nrcan.gc.ca.
