Clearwater River (Quebec)
The Clearwater River is a river flowing on the east shore of Lake Guillaume-Delisle, which empties into the Hudson Bay. The "Clearwater River" is located in Nunavik, in the west of the Labrador peninsula, in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec, in Canada. This river drains Clearwater Lake into Lac Guillaume-Delisle.Geography
The Clearwater River rises in Clearwater Lake. It flows west for about 70 km and empties into Lake Guillaume-Delisle. This body of water, more properly a gulf, is connected to Hudson Bay on its west side via a narrow channel about 5 km long called "Le Goulet", meaning narrows or bottleneck.
The watershed of the river covers 4766 km2.
The gulf and Clearwater Lake are part of the Lakes Guillaume-Delisle-and-Lac à l'Eau Claire National Park. Covering an area of 15,549 km2, the park was officially created in 2012, following an announcement by the Minister of Environment, Wildlife and Parks in Quebec.
