The Rivière de la Grande Loutre is a tributary of the Péribonka River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Passes-Dangereuses, in the Maria-Chapdelaine Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The upper part of the watershed of the Grande Loutre river is served by the forest road R0206 (north–south direction) which passes between Dubray Lake and lac de Bransac. From the south, this road goes up the Mistassibi River. A few secondary roads serve the area for forestry and recreational tourism purposes.
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; second, recreational tourism activities.
The surface of the Grande Loutre River is usually frozen from late November to early April, however safe traffic on the ice is generally from early December to early April.
