The Rivière Noire (English: Black River) is a tributary of the east bank of the Montmorency River. It flows in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
This valley is mainly served by a forest road R0303 which comes from the south by passing on the west side of the mount Robert-Bellefeuille, then by crossing the Black river and going up towards the north by the East side of its course. Approaching the marsh area located west of the southern part of lac des Neiges, the road makes a detour to the east to bypass this latter lake from the south and continue north on the east bank.
Because of its altitude, the surface of the upper Black River is generally frozen from late November to early April; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March. The lower part of the river course has a freezing period of about a week less than the upper part. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
