The Monsan River is a tributary of Lake Monsan which is crossed by the Maicasagi River located at Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in the Canadian province of Quebec, in Canada.
The course of the Monsan River is entirely in the Southwestern part of the Assinica Wildlife Sanctuary.
