The Bras des Angers (English: arm of Angers) is a tributary of the Pikauba River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ministuk, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. The course of the Bras des Angers crosses the northwest part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
The small valley of the Arm of Angers is located near route 169. This valley is served by some secondary forest roads, especially for forestry and recreational tourism activities.[1]
Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the Bras des Angers is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
