The Rivière Verte (English: Green River) is a tributary of the Sainte-Anne River flowing in the town of Saint-Raymond, in the Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.
The lower part of the Verte River is mainly served by the Verte River path which runs on the east bank of the river. The rest of this valley is served by a few forest roads 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 Verte 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.
