The "ruisseau Épinglette" (English: Épinglette stream) is a tributary of the Cami River, flowing in the municipality of L'Anse-Saint-Jean, 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 "Épinglette steam" crosses the zec du Lac-Brébeuf.
The "lac à Épinglette" area is served by "Chemin du Lac-Travers". It is served indirectly by the "Chemin du Lac à la Catin" which connects to the west with the "Chemin du Lac Travers" and the "Chemin du Lac Desprez". The middle part of the rivière à la Catin valley is served by the Périgny road and the "Lac de la Souris road", for forestry and recreational tourism activities. The lower part is served by "Chemin du Lac Brébeuf". Some secondary forest roads serve this valley.[2]
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second.
