The Petite Rivière Pikauba is a tributary of the Pikauba River, flowing in the province of Quebec, in Canada, in the administrative regions of:
- Capitale-Nationale: in the unorganized territory of Lac-Pikauba, in the 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 Petite rivière Pikauba flows entirely into the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve. The valley of the Petite rivière Pikauba is mainly accessible thanks to the route 169 and the route 175 (connecting Quebec and Chicoutimi). Other secondary forest roads have been developed in the sector for the needs of forestry and recreational tourism activities.
Forestry developed in the sector at the end of the 19th century, thus generating the development of hunting and fishing activities.
The surface of the Petite rivière Pikauba is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to the end of March.
