The Niagarette River is a stream flowing in the municipalities of Saint-Ubalde, Saint-Thuribe and Saint-Casimir, in the Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.
The first segment of 5.4 kilometres (3.4 mi) of the course of the Niagarette river is forest area; the rest of its route flows through an agricultural environment, while passing south of the village of Saint-Casimir at the end of the route.[1][circular reference]
The surface of the Niagarette River (except the rapids zones) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, but the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from the end of December to the beginning of March.
