The Red Wine River ( Montagnais name: Kamikuakamiu-shipu ) is an approximately 145 km long right tributary of the Naskaupi River in the central east of Labrador in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador . The catchment area covers an estimated 2350 km².
River course
The Red Wine River forms the outflow of Lake Kamassekutik , which is 530 m high . This is 10 km north of Disappointment Lake and 40 km east of Smallwood Reservoir . The Red Wine River initially flows in a north-northeast direction. It flows through Lake Katshakatinau-nipi and reaches the western end of the 460 m high Red Wine Lake (Kaishkuatashkutik). This has two drains. The western outflow leads to the upper reaches of the Naskaupi River, while the Red Wine River leaves the lake in an easterly direction. The Red Wine River flows 70 km in a predominantly east-southeast direction and turns towards east-northeast for the last 30 kilometers. Finally the Red Wine River flows into the lower reaches of the Naskaupi River, 25 km above its mouth in the Grand Lake .
There are no barriers for migratory fish in the lower 100 kilometers . The river water of the Red Wine River is described as reddish-brown in contrast to the clear water of the Naskaupi River.
