George River (Inuktitut: Kangirsualujjuap Kuunga, "River of the Great Bay"; Naskapi: Mushuan Shipu, "River without Trees"; Innu: Metsheshu Shipu, "Eagle River"),[2] formerly the East[a] or George's River,[3] is a river in northeastern Quebec, Canada, that flows from Lake Jannière mainly north to Ungava Bay.
The George is a big and wide river. It offers relatively easy and inexpensive access to Ungava Bay, compared to other major rivers of this area, making it popular for canoe camping trips.
