Little Bachelor River is a tributary of the south shore of the Bachelor River flowing into Eeyou Istchee James Bay (municipality), in Jamésie, in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec, Canada.
This river successively crosses the townships of Benoit and Nelligan.
Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism activities, second.
The Little Bachelor River valley is served by route 113 linking Lebel-sur-Quévillon and Chibougamau, whose route is more or less parallel to River. In addition, this sub-surface is served by the Canadian National Railway, which passes to the North-West.
The surface of the Little Bachelor River is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
Of English origin, the term "Bachelor" refers to an unmarried single man. This English term is the title of any person of any sex or marital status who holds a bachelor's degree.
The toponym "Little Bachelor River" was formalized on November 1, 1988, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec, when it was created.[2]
