The 'Honguedo Strait' (
Fr. ''Détroit d'Honguedo'') is a
strait in eastern
North America.
Flowing between
Anticosti Island and the
Gaspé Peninsula in
Quebec,
Canada, it is one of the two outlets of the
Saint Lawrence River into its
estuary, the
Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The other is the
Jacques Cartier Strait on the north side of
Anticosti Island.
The Honguedo Strait is approximately 70 kilometres wide at its narrowest point.
The origin of the name is uncertain; it may derive from the
Mi'kmaq word for "gathering place."
