The Rivière à l'Ours Ouest (lit. 'West Bear River') is a tributary of the rivière à l'Ours, flowing through the municipality of Havre-Saint-Pierre, in the Minganie Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
Except for the route 138 serving the lower part of the Bear River, this valley is served by winter snowmobile routes.
The surface of the West Bear River is usually frozen from the beginning of November to the end of April, except the rapids areas; however, traffic on the ice is generally safe from late November to early April.
