Etchemin River

Etchemin River

The Etchemin River is a river in the Chaudière-Appalaches region of eastern Quebec.

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". Contrary to beliefs, the source of the river isn't in Etchemin Lake, but rather a little east of the lake itself, in Saint-Luc.
