The Rivière à l'Ours (English: Bear River) is a tributary of the rivière des Aulnaies, flowing on the northwest bank of the Saint Lawrence River, successively in the municipalities of Bégin and Saint-Ambroise, in the Fjord-du-Saguenay, in the region administrative Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the Province of Quebec, in Canada.
The Rivière à l'Ours watershed is served by rue Simard (in the village of Saint-Ambroise), chemin du rang des Chutes, chemin du 9th rang and chemin de la Bleuetière. Secondary forest roads serve the upper part of this slope.
Forestry and agriculture are the main economic activities in the watershed.
The Bear River surface is usually frozen from late November to early April, however safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to late March.
