The Jaune River (English: Yellow River) is a tributary of the Saint-Charles River flowing in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, Canada. The course of the river crosses:
- the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality: municipalities of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury and lac-Beauport;
- Quebec City.[1]
This Quebec river which is 26.6 kilometres (16.5 mi) long flows into the Saint-Charles River a little downstream of the outlet of Saint-Charles Lake, in Quebec City (sector of Lac-Saint-Charles), in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, Canada.
The main roads serving this small valley are rue Jacques-Bédard, rue des Chalets, chemin de la Grande Ligne, rue du Vallon, boulevard Henri-Bourassa, rue de Champéry, boulevard du Lac and chemin du Tour-du-Lac.
The surface of the Jaune River (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
