Encyclopedia > Abitibi River

The Abitibi River is a river in northeastern Canada, which flows northwest from Lake Abitibi to join the Moose River which empties into James Bay. This river is 540 km long.


The river was an important fur trading route for the Hudson's Bay Company. Now, pulp and paper is an important industry in this heavily forested region.


The river flows past the town of Iroquois Falls, Ontario, which was named after the nearby falls on the river. The name comes from an Ojibwa tale about an invading Iroquois war party who were sent over the falls by their Ojibwa captives.


A hydroelectric power generating plant is located on the river at Abitibi Canyon.


Tributaries of this river include the:

  • Little Abitibi River
  • Frederick House River
