Английская Википедия:Cami River
Шаблон:Infobox river The Cami river is a tributary of the Saint-Jean River, flowing in the municipality of Lalemant, Hébertville-Station and Rivière-Éternité, in the Fjord-du-Saguenay, in the administrative region of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. The course of the Cami river crosses the zec du Lac-au-Sable.
The Cami river valley is served along its entire length by the Lac-Desprez road, for forestry and recreational tourism activities. Some secondary forest roads serve this valley.
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the Cami River is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.

The Cami River takes its source at the confluence of Desprez Lake (length: Шаблон:Convert; altitude: Шаблон:Convert) in a deep valley. This source is located at:
- Шаблон:Convert south-east of a mountain peak which reaches Шаблон:Convert;
- Шаблон:Convert north-east of a curve of the course of ruisseau à John;
- Шаблон:Convert north of a curve in the course of the Malbaie River;
- Шаблон:Convert south-west of a curve of the course of the rivière à la Catin;
- Шаблон:Convert south of the mouth of Brébeuf Lake;
- Шаблон:Convert south-west of the confluence of the Cami river and the Saint-Jean River.[1]
From its source, the course of the Cami River descends on Шаблон:Convert in forested and mountainous areas, with a drop of Шаблон:Convert according to the following segments:
Upper course of the Cami River (segment of Шаблон:Convert)
- Шаблон:Convert to the northeast by collecting a discharge (coming from the west) from Isolation Lake, to a bend in the river, corresponding to a stream (coming from the southeast);
- Шаблон:Convert to the north in the marsh area, collecting the discharge from Lac Éloigné and Lac en Poire, as well as passing east of a mountain whose summit reaches Шаблон:Convert, to a bend in the river;
- Шаблон:Convert north-west in the marsh area to the outlet (coming from the south-west) of a group of lakes;
- Шаблон:Convert towards the northwest by collecting the discharge (coming from the south) of the Lac de la Grosse Femelle, up to La Petite Rivière (coming from the west);
- Шаблон:Convert towards the northeast by forming a large curve at the start of the segment to go around a mountain whose summit reaches Шаблон:Convert and collecting the discharge (coming from the north (west) of a few lakes, as well as the outlet (coming from the southwest) of Lac Aurel, up to a outlet (coming from the west) of Lac à Fournel;[1]
Lower course of the Cami River (segment of Шаблон:Convert)
- Шаблон:Convert towards the north in a deep valley, forming a curve towards the east at the start of the segment, up to a stream (coming from the south-east);
- Шаблон:Convert north-west in a deep valley and crossing some rapids, up to a stream (coming from the north-west);
- Шаблон:Convert north-east across a few rapids to the outlet (coming from the north-west) of a lake;
- Шаблон:Convert towards the northeast in a deep valley, crossing some rapids and bending towards the north;
- Шаблон:Convert north-east, up to the confluence of the rivière à la Catin (coming from the south-east);
- Шаблон:Convert north on a plain, to its mouth.[1]
The Cami river flows on the south bank of the Saint-Jean River. This mouth is located at:
- Шаблон:Convert north-east of the mouth of the Brébeuf Lake (confluence with the Saint Jean River);
- Шаблон:Convert south-west of the village center of Rivière-Éternité;
- Шаблон:Convert south-west of the confluence of the Saint-Jean River and Anse Saint-Jean (Saguenay River);
- Шаблон:Convert south of a bay on Éternity Lake;
- Шаблон:Convert south-east of downtown Saguenay (city).[1]
From the confluence of the Cami river, the current:
- follows the course of the Saint-Jean River (Saguenay River tributary) on Шаблон:Convert generally towards the northeast;
- crosses Anse Saint-Jean for Шаблон:Convert to the north;
- follows the course of the Saguenay River on Шаблон:Convert eastward to Tadoussac where it merges with the Estuary of Saint Lawrence.
