Lac Caribou is a beautiful lake found in Quebec, Canada. It's located in a place called Saint-Joseph-de-Coleraine. This area is part of the Les Appalaches Regional County Municipality and the Chaudière-Appalaches region.
The Ashberham River flows right through Lac Caribou. This river starts in the Bécancour Hills. After leaving Lac Caribou, the water travels through Petit lac Saint-François. Eventually, it joins Grand lac Saint François, which is where the Saint-François River begins. The Saint-François River then flows into the mighty St. Lawrence River.
