The Rivière à Benjamin is a tributary of the Baie des Ha! Ha!, flowing in the territory of the city of Saguenay, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
This small valley is served by the Anse-à-Benjamin road (east side of the river) and Saint-Joseph road (west side), for forestry, agriculture, recreation and tourist activities and for residents of this area.
Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the Benjamin River is usually frozen from early December to late March, however safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March.
