The Deux-Lacs River (French: "Rivière des Deux Lacs") is a tributary of the Nottaway River (via Soscumica Lake), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in the Canadian province of Quebec, in Canada. The course of the river flows in the cantons of Péruse, Paramé and Villieu.
Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector. Recreational tourism activities (especially hunting and fishing) come second, thanks to the navigable water of Lake Soscumica, including its tributaries.
The hydrographic slope of Lake Soscumica is accessible via the James Bay Highway (North-South direction) to 22.8 kilometres (14.2 mi) to the East. The west side of the lake is served by a winter road (North-South direction). The surface of the river is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
