The Vermillon River is a tributary of Chigoubiche River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ashuapmushuan in the Le Domaine-du-Roy Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in province of Quebec, in Canada.
The Vermillon River valley is mainly served by forest roads which connect northward to route 167. [2] [3]
Forestry (mainly forestry) is the main economic activity in this valley; recreotourism activities, second, mainly because of the Ashuapmushuan Wildlife Reserve. [2]
The Vermillon River has its source at the mouth of Vermillon Lake (length: 0.65 km (0.40 mi) triangular in shape; altitude: 579 m (1,900 ft)).
The mouth of Lake Vermillon is located in a forest zone in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ashuapmushuan, at:
From the mouth of Lake Vermillon, the Vermillon River flows over 45.0 km (28.0 mi) with a drop of 299 m (981 ft), entirely in the forest zone, according to the following segments:
The Vermillon river flows on the south bank of the Chigoubiche River. This confluence is located upstream of a series of rapids, and at:
From the mouth of the Vermillon River, the current descends the course of the Chigoubiche River on 2.9 km (1.8 mi), the course of the Ashuapmushuan River on 59.8 km (37.2 mi), then crosses the lac Saint-Jean eastward on 41.1 km (25.5 mi) (i.e. its full length), follows the course of the Saguenay River via la Petite Décharge on 172.3 km (107.1 mi) east to Tadoussac where it meets the estuary of Saint Lawrence [2]
The toponym “Vermillon River” was made official on December 5, 1968, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec. [4]
