The Guayamouc River, (French: Rivière Guayamouc), is a river in central and eastern Haiti. It rises in the Massif du Nord and flows generally southeast for 113 km (70 miles) into the Artibonite River at the border with the Dominican Republic. It is notable for producing the fertile plain of central Haiti. Notable cities on the Guayamouc include Hinche.

About[]
There are two branches of the Guayamuco that originate from Saint-Raphaël and Crete-Sale in the Grandes Savanes. These branches meet at a point on the border between Grande-Rivière du Nord and Marmelade districts. After flowing through the plains of Dondon, Saint-Raphaël, Saint-Michel, and the Goave valley, the Bayaha River joins the Guayamuco in Hinche. Together, they flow into the Artibonite River to the east of the Loma del Peligro in the Cahos Mountain Range. This watercourse has carved a path through seemingly impassable mountains, connecting the fertile territories irrigated by the Guayamuco with the less fertile lands of Lascahobas and Mirebalais, located on the other side of the Cahos. The Guayamuco, also known as the Laporte River, receives water from various tributaries such as Naranjo or Naranja, Hinquitte, Maïssal, Frio, Hincha, Rio Acama, Caladero, Lag, Samana, and Aguahidionde, amongst others.
