Rivière du Sault aux Cochons

The Sault aux Cochons River (French: rivière du Sault aux Cochons, pronounced [ʁivjɛʁ dy sot‿o kɔʃɔ̃]) flows south, on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River, in the La Haute-Côte-Nord Regional County Municipality in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in Quebec, in Canada.

In addition, this name identifies around ten geographic entities along the shores of the St. Lawrence River, visited by porpoises for centuries.

[1] The Sault aux Cochons River has its source in Breault Lake, 9 km (5.6 mi) south of Pipmuacan Reservoir.

[7] According to the Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Southern Quebec, 125 species are recorded in the Sault aux Cochons River basin.

It is generally considered easy with the exception of the 15 km (9.3 mi) downstream of Sault aux Cochons Lake which are more robust.
