This river is {{convert|540|km}} long, and descends {{convert|265|m|ft}}.[2] The river was an important fur trading route for the Hudson's Bay Company. Now,{{when|date=March 2018}} pulp and paper, centered on the town of Iroquois Falls, Ontario, is an important industry in the heavily forested region through which it flows.[2] The region also supports tourism and gold mining.[2] The Abitibi Canyon Generating Station is located on the river at Abitibi Canyon. The experience of surveying the river for the purposes of building this plant was the inspiration for folk singer Wade Hemsworth's "The Black Fly Song". The name is from the Algonquin words abitah, meaning middle and nipi meaning water.[2] Tributaries
