From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bonaventure River is a river in Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula which rises in the Chic-Choc Mountains and flows south to empty into Chaleur Bay near the town of Bonaventure, Quebec. The river is about 121 km long.

Like other rivers in this area, it is known for its Atlantic Salmon fishing. The river is noted for its clear, cold water.

The river was named after the Italian saint Bonaventure.
