The Mouchalagane River (French: Rivière Mouchalagane) is a river in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec, Canada. It feeds the Manicouagan Reservoir.
The Mouchalagane river is in the unorganized territory of Rivière-Mouchalagane, in the Regional county municipality of Caniapiscau in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec. It originates in Lake Sommet and Lake Itomanis. It flows south for 132 kilometres (82 mi) to the Manicouagan Reservoir. Tributaries include the Labadie, Tuk and Pipichicau rivers. The upper portion of the river has many rapids. In its lower 80 kilometres (50 mi) it widens to form the western arm of the reservoir, formerly Lake Manicouagan.[1]
