Leaf River (French: ''Rivière aux Feuilles''; Inuktitut: ''Kuugaaluk'' (the large river) or ''Itinniq'' (where there are spring tides)) is a river in northern Quebec, Canada, at the northern limit of the tree line. It flows from Lake Minto northeast through the Ungava Peninsula into Leaf Bay off Ungava Bay over a distance of . At the head of Leaf Bay is the Inuit community of Tasiujaq. It is possible to paddle the whole length of the Leaf River (with caution) without portaging - it doesn't contain impassable waterfalls or non-navigable rapids.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://sites.google.com/site/landltrips/Trips/Leaf2007 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 last = Bassi )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 last = Kunin )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 last = Lange )〕 The length of the river measured from Charpentier Bay to Tasiujaq is ; if measured from first descernable current, it is . The ice-free period on the river is short: about sixty days. That implies a quite low average daily temperature in the summer (approx. 10°C) generally accompanied by rain (or snow) and wind. In short, it is an environment where hypothermia can easily occur.〔 ==Tributaries== The significant tributaries of the Leaf River are:〔 * Charpentier River〔〔 * Nedlouc River * Descareaux River * Daunais River * Goudalie River * Vizien River〔 * Brissard River * Qijuttuuk River * Cohade River * Tuktu River * Dufreboy Creek * Viennaux River * Papijjusaq River * Peladeau River * Fanfan River 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leaf River (Quebec)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
