The Achepabanca River Northeast is a tributary of the Achepabanca River, flowing into the northeastern part of Senneterre within La Vallée-de-l'Or Regional County Municipality (RCM), in the administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in Quebec, in Canada.
The course of the river successively crosses the townships of Maricourt and Berthelot. Its confluence is at the limit of the townships Girouard and Berthelot.
The Northeastern Achepabanca River runs entirely on forest land on the west side of the Gouin Reservoir. Forestry is the main economic activity of this hydrographic slope; recreational tourism activities, second. The surface of the river is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of April. The hydrographic slope of the Northeastern Achepabanca River is served by the R0808 forest road which passes on the north side.
This source of the river is located at:

From the mouth of the head lake, the Northeastern River Achepabanca flows over 21.9 kilometres (13.6 mi) according to the following segments:
Upper Achepabanca River Northeast (segment of 7.2 kilometres (4.5 mi))
Lower course of the Northeastern Achepabanca River (segment of 14.7 kilometres (9.1 mi))
The Achepabanca Northeast River discharges on the east bank of the Achepabanca River at 0.4 kilometres (0.25 mi) from the confluence of the latter with the Mégiscane River. The latter usually flows westward forming a large hook to the south. It is a tributary of the east shore of Parent Lake (Abitibi). It empties into the Bell River, a tributary of Matagami Lake which in turn flows into the Nottaway River, a tributary of the southeastern shore of James Bay.
This confluence of the Northeastern Achepabanca River with the Achepabanca River is located at:
