The Rivière Bouchard is a tributary of the Franquelin River, flowing in the municipality of Franquelin, in the Manicouagan Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreotourism activities, second. The surface of the Bouchard River is usually frozen from the beginning of November to the end of April, except the rapids areas; however, traffic on the ice is generally safe from late November to early April.
