Tremblay River
The Tremblay river is a tributary of the rivière aux Anglais flowing in the unorganized territory Rivière-aux-Outardes, in the Manicouagan Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. The Tremblay river valley is mainly served by the English river path. The surface of the Tremblay River is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, except the rapids areas; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March. Geography. The Tremblay River rises on the Canadian Shield, at  Lac Alex (length: ; altitude: ). This eastern forest lake has two outlets: that of the north (at the bottom of a bay) turns out to be the beginning of a stream leading north to the Françoise River; that of the south (at the bottom of a bay) turns out to be the head of the Tremblay river. The southern mouth of Lac Alex is located north of the confluence of the Tremblay and English rivers, northwest of head lake of the Mistassini River and north-west of the confluence of the rivière aux Anglais and the Baie des Anglais on the  north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. From Lac Alex, the course of the Tremblay river descends on entirely in the forest zone, with a drop of , according to the following segments: The Tremblay River flows into a bend on the south bank of the intermediate course of the English River, in the unorganized territory of Rivière-aux-Outardes. This confluence is located upstream of a zone of rapids, upstream of the confluence of the Brisson River. From the confluence of the Tremblay river, the current descends the course of the rivière aux Anglais for to the Baie des  Anglais. Toponym. The term "Tremblay" is a family name of French origin.
