George River (Quebec)
George River ((イヌクティトゥット語:''Kangirsualujjuap Kuunga'' (river of the great bay)), Naskapi: ''Mushuan Shipu'' (River without trees), Innu: ''Metsheshu Shipu'' (Eagle River))) is a river in northern Quebec, Canada, that flows from Lake Jannière mainly north to Ungava Bay.
The George is a big and wide river. It offers relatively easy and inexpensive access to Ungava Bay, compared to other major rivers of this area, making it popular for canoe camping trips.
== Geography ==
The George River originates about east of Schefferville in Lake Jannière, between bogs and swamps. The headwater lakes are shallow, connected by rushing rapids. After Lake Advance, the river runs through heavy whitewater until it reaches Indian House Lake (Naskapi: ''Mushuan Nipi'' (The big lake in the barrens)), which stretches if measured by Canadian topo maps, or if measured by its flatwater character.
After Indian House Lake, the George really starts to flow. It offers an abundance of rapids with various levels of difficulty until it reaches Kangiqsualujjuaq close to Ungava Bay. Because of its easy access, many people without the necessary experience and skills have travelled this river and unfortunately some lost their lives. The river is big and powerful – the French word "''Fleuve''", also used to describe the Saint Lawrence River, describes its character better than the word "''Rivière''". The power of the George leaves no room for error. Climatic conditions are ideal for hypothermia. Canoeists have to contend also with serious tidal effects in the last .
