The Le Lièvre River (''Rivière du Lièvre'' in French) is a river in western Quebec which flows south from the Mitchinamécus reservoir and empties into the Ottawa River at Masson-Angers. The river is long and drains an area of . The river's name comes from the French word for hare. The 1908 landslide at Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette and the earlier 1903 clay landslide at Leda both occurred on this river. At one time, the river was used to transport logs downstream to sawmills located near the river's mouth. In 1928, a paper mill was built near the mouth of the river. On December 18, 1998, this mill was bought from Industries James Maclaren Inc. by private investors and became Papier Masson Ltee. In turn, the White Birch Paper Company bought it in January 2006.〔(Papier Masson ltd History )〕〔(White Birch Paper Company announces completion of acquisition of Papier Masson Ltee )〕 There are a number of hydroelectric plants on the river, as well as large and viable deposits of Uranium ore in the district. ==Tributaries== *Mitchinamécus River *Kiamika 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「Du Lièvre River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
