Excerpt from The Picturesque St. Lawrence Some of the river's tributaries are themselves of notable size. The largest are the Ottawa and the Saguenay, which flow into it from the north; but mention should also be made of those historic water thoroughfares - the Riche lieu and St. Francis, which come from the south. As a rule, the tributary streams run a rough and tortuous course and abound in rapids and water falls that give them beauty and often furnish valuable power.
