• Source: Sainte Anne River (Anticosti Island)

The rivière Sainte-Anne is a watercourse flowing into Gulf of St. Lawrence, flowing in the municipality of L'Île-d'Anticosti, in the Minganie Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in province of Quebec, in Canada.
A single forest road serves the intermediate part of this valley. This carriage road connects to the west to a forest road network for forestry purposes, as well as to the main road passing on the northern slope of the island. Forestry is the main economic activity in this area; recreational tourism activities, second.




Geography


The Sainte-Anne river draws its source from the southern part of a marsh area (altitude: 118 m (387 ft)) located in the center-west of Anticosti Island. This source is located at:

44.2 km (27.5 mi) east of the town center of the village of Port-Menier;
11.8 km (7.3 mi) south of the north shore of Anticosti Island;
15.6 km (9.7 mi) northeast of the south shore of Anticosti Island.
From its source, the Sainte-Anne river flows south between the rivière aux Cailloux (located on the west side) and the rivière à la Loutre (located on the east side). Its course descends on 17.3 km (10.7 mi) towards the south with a drop of 117 m (384 ft), according to the following segments:

11.2 km (7.0 mi) to the south collecting a stream (coming from the northeast), collecting the discharge (coming from the west) of Lake Marmen; then to the south, passing under the forest road bridge and collecting the discharge (coming from the northeast) of a lake, to the western limit of SÉPAQ Anticosti;
5.6 km (3.5 mi) first to the south in the SÉPAQ Anticosti, gradually bending towards the southwest, until a bend in the river located about one hundred meters from the north shore of the Gulf of Saint Laurent; then on 0.4 km (0.25 mi) towards the west parallel to the shore of the gulf, to its mouth.
The Sainte-Anne River flows onto the south shore of Anticosti Island, i.e. 15.5 km (9.6 mi) southeast of the western limit of SÉPAQ Anticosti and 31.2 km (19.4 mi) south-east of the center of the village of Port-Menier.
