The Pivabiska River is a river located in the Cochrane District of Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is part of the large James Bay drainage basin, which means its waters eventually flow into James Bay. The Pivabiska River is a smaller river that joins the larger Missinaibi River.

Where the Pivabiska River Flows

The Pivabiska River begins its journey at a lake called Lac Pivabiska. This lake is found in a place known as Casgrain Township. From there, the river starts flowing towards the north.

As it continues, the river makes a turn and starts heading northeast. After a while, it changes direction again, flowing towards the east. It then enters another area called Garden Township. Soon after entering this township, the Pivabiska River reaches its end.

The Pivabiska River flows into the Missinaibi River. The Missinaibi River then joins the Moose River. Finally, the Moose River carries all these waters into James Bay.
