About

The Ouasiemsca River is a notable tributary of the Mistassini River that offers intermediate paddling through diverse Quebec wilderness. The route includes connections to multiple rivers including the Rivière des Cyprès and Rivière du Carcajou before joining the main Mistassini system. This river features a mix of calm water and technical sections, flowing through a landscape of forests, clearings, and occasional cottages. The river provides excellent wildlife viewing opportunities and serves as a connecting link in longer expedition routes through the northern Saguenay region.
