Etchemin River

It gave its name to Les Etchemins Regional County Municipality.

The river itself was named for the Abenaki native people of the area who the French called "les Etchemins."

The project was scoffed at in the beginning since damming and logging along the Etchemin's shore and agricultural runoff and dumping had polluted the river so much that Atlantic salmon had been last seen there two centuries earlier.

Work then began to plant over 15,000 trees on the riverbanks and to make salmon-friendly rapids and shelters for spawning.
