The rivière Talayarde is a tributary of the Sainte-Anne river flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Blanc and in the town of Saint-Raymond, in the MRC Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, at Quebec, in Canada.

The Talayarde river valley is mainly served by the forest road R0300 which goes up north passing on the east side of the valley. Some secondary roads serve the territory for the needs of forestry and recreational tourism activities.[1]

The main economic activities in the sector are forestry and recreational tourism activities.[1]

The surface of the Talayarde River (except the rapids areas) 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. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
