SAGUENAY

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 1004 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SAGUENAY , a river of
Quebec
  province, Canada, flowing into the St Lawrence 120 M. N.E. of
Quebec
 . It drains Lake St John, from which it issues by two impassable rapids, La Grande and La Petite Decharge. Thence for 40 M. it flows E.S.E. in a
series
  of rapids, navigable only by skilled boatmen in canoes, to Chicoutimi, the seat of a Roman Catholic
bishop
 , a prosperous little town exporting
great
  quantities of
lumber
 . Six miles farther down is Ha Ha Bay, a favourite summer resort. From Chicoutimi the river is navigable by small steamers, and from Ha Ha Bay to the mouth by vessels of the largest size. It is indeed rather a loch or bay than a river, containing neither
rock
  nor shoal, and having at its mouth a depth of some 60o ft. greater than that of the St Lawrence. Its width varies from three-quarters of a mile to two miles, and the waters are blackened by the shadow of treeless cliffs, over l000 ft. in height, separatedbere and there by narrow wooded valleys, and culminating in Capes Trinity and Eternity, 1600 and 1800 ft. in height. Above Chicoutimi it runs through hills of about 400 ft. in height, densely wooded with spruce, maple and birch. Tadoussac, at its mouth, is the oldest European trading post in Canada.
Lake St John is a shallow basin, 26 m. by 20, with an area of 365 sq. m. It receives the waters of the Ashuapmuchuan, often spoken of as the upper course of the Saguenay, the Mistassini, the Peribonka and various other important streams. A numerous farming
population
  live near its shores. It is well known to anglers as containing the celebrated ouinaniche, or land-locked salmon, which attains a
weight
  of about 6 lb.
