Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:Infobox river The Boucanée River (translation to English: Smoked River) is a tributary of the lake Pohenegamook, flowing in the southern part of the Gaspé Peninsula, in the municipalities of Saint-Athanase, Quebec and Pohénégamook, Quebec, in Témiscouata Regional County Municipality (RCM), in the administrative region of Bas-Saint-Laurent, in Quebec, in Canada.
The "Boucanée River" flows on the western bank of Lake Pohenegamook, which is the largest lake on the course of the Saint Francis River (Canada-United States). It spills on the north bank of the Saint Francis River (Canada-United States). The latter in turn flows to the south, crossing the Beau Lake (Maine-Quebec), then towards the southeast across Lake Glacier to the north shore of St. John River to New Brunswick. It flows first to the east, then south-east through all the New Brunswick and pours on the north bank of the Bay of Fundy which is open to the southwest on the Atlantic Ocean.
The course of the Boucanée River is accessible by "chemin de la Rivière-Noire" (English: road of the Black River) and the route 289.
