The Rivière Cyriac (also The Cyriac) is a freshwater tributary feeding the Kenogami Lake, flowing in:
- Capitale-Nationale: in the unorganized territory of Lac-Pikauba, in the MRC of Charlevoix Regional County Municipality;
- Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean: in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ministuk, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality.
The Cyriac River crosses the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve. The Cyriac river valley is directly served by the route 175; other secondary forest roads have been developed in the sector for forestry and recreational tourism activities.
Forestry is the primary economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the Cyriac River is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
