Шаблон:Use Canadian English Шаблон:Infobox river Bignell Creek is a tributary of the Adolphe-Poisson Bay located on the southwestern side of the Gouin Reservoir. This stream runs entirely in forest zone in the town of La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada.
Bignell stream flows successively into the Provancher and Poisson townships.
Forestry is the main economic activity of this valley; recreational tourism activities, second.
A secondary forest road will loosen the western part of the Bignell Creek valley. The route 404, connecting the village of Clova, Quebec to the South Bay of Bureau Lake (Gouin Reservoir) serves the south of Lac Duchamp and the West of Tessier Lake (Gouin Reservoir); this road connects to the south-east the route 400 which goes to Gouin Dam. Some secondary forest roads are in use at proximity to forestry and recreational tourism activities.
The surface of Bignell Brook is usually frozen from mid-November to the end of April, however, safe ice circulation is generally from early December to late March.
