The Bouteroue Creek is a tributary of Lake Nicabau, flowing into the unorganized territory of Lac-Ashuapmushuan, Quebec into the Regional County Municipality (RCM) of Le Domaine-du-Roy, in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean administrative region, in Quebec, in Canada.

Its mouth is located at 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) west of the Ashuapmushuan Wildlife Reserve boundary.

The route 167 between Chibougamau and Saint-Félicien, Quebec passes on the east side of Nicabau Lake.

The surface of Bouteroue Creek is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice movement is generally from mid-November to mid-April.

From there, the current flows down the Normandin River to the southeast on 38.7 kilometres (24.0 mi), to the shore Northwest of Ashuapmushuan Lake.
