Jeannotte River is a river that rises in Lac Édouard in the municipality of Lac-Édouard in Haute-Mauricie, agglomerated with the city of La Tuque since 2003, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in the province of Quebec, Canada. The head of the Jeannotte River is one of the two emissaries of Lake Edward (outfall located in the southern part of Lake Edward, in 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi) of the village while the other envoy, the head of the Batiscan River, is near the village, near the former sanatorium). The Jeannotte River, whose course is 48 kilometres (30 mi),[1] is in the valley of the Batiscanie, Quebec.[2] The upper segment of the path of the Jeannotte River marks the Zec de la Bessonne and Zec Jeannotte, then the river flows through the Zec Jeannotte, incorporated in 1978.[3]
