Theriver Chimenticook is a tributary of theSaint John River (Bay of Fundy), flowing in the canton T13 R13 Wels, in theAroostook County, in North ofMaine, inUnited States.

Its course is in forest area in a valley enclosed by high mountains, in the southeast of the US border. Its course is situated between the river Powock (northeast side) and "Twomile Brook" (West side).

The river side of the river is accessible by Chimenticook some forest roads.

The upper part of the "River Chimenticook" begins inNotre Dame Mountains at the mouth of the East Lake (length: 9.2 kilometres (5.7 mi); height: 315 metres (1,033 ft)) inAroostook County (Maine). This Canadian lake surrounded by mountains has two parts connected by a strait, and only 0.4 kilometres (0.25 mi) of its length (southeast part) is in American territory. This lake is mainly fed by theRiver Spikes (Kamouraska) (from the West) and the "ruisseau Blanc" (White Brook) (coming from the North).

The mouth of the East Lake flows through the southeast and is located at:

• 0.4 kilometres (0.25 mi) southeast of the border betweenQuebec andMaine;
• 18.0 kilometres (11.2 mi) northwest from the confluence of the river Chimenticook;
• 48.1 kilometres (29.9 mi) southeast of theRoute 132 atLa Pocatiere, Quebec, inQuebec.

From the mouth of the East Lake, the Chimenticook river flows on 32.6 kilometres (20.3 mi) as follows:

• 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) to the South, to the northwest shore of the "Little East Lake";
• 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi) to the Southeast through the "Little East Lake" (length: 9.2 kilometres (5.7 mi); height: 319 metres (1,047 ft)) up at its mouth located in the Southeast;
• 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) to the Southeast, to the deck of a forest road;
• 9.2 kilometres (5.7 mi) to the Southeast, to the deck of a forest road;
• 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) to the Southeast, to the confluence of the river.^[1]

The "Chimenticook River" flows into a river curve on the north shore ofSaint John River, Canton T16 R13 Wels, theAroostook County. This confluence is located at:

• 20.6 kilometres (12.8 mi) West of the Allagash hamlet, located on the south shore ofSt. John River;
• 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi) upstream of the confluence of the river Pocwock;
