THE GRAND CASCAPEDIA 

 RIVER* 



IN the far northern wilderness of the 

 Province of Quebec are the sources of two 

 streams which form the headwaters of the 

 Grand Cascapedia river. The Lake Branch 

 rises in Lake Cascapedia and flows from 

 this lake a distance of eighteen miles before 

 joining its companion the Salmon Branch, 

 whose source is many miles farther north. 



The meeting of these two streams at the 

 celebrated Forks Pool is the beginning of 

 the main stream of the Grand Cascapedia 

 river. 



From Lazy Bogan, which is a short dis- 

 tance below the Forks Pool, the river passes 

 through a most beautiful mountainous 

 country; it is fed by numerous brooks and 



* The Indian name from which Cascapedia is 

 derived is Gascapegiag and means Wide River.
