The upper part of the river is mainly served by the route 367 (chemin du rang Saint-Paul), by the chemin du rang Saint-Jacques and the chemin du rang Saint-Georges.[1]

The main economic activities in the sector are forestry and agricultural activities.[2]

The surface of the Jacquot 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.


Geography


The Jacquot River originates from Lac Simon (length: 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi); altitude 186 metres (610 ft)). The north shore of this lake has a resort vocation, located in a forest area in the northwestern part of the municipality of Saint-Léonard-de-Portneuf.[1]

The mouth of this lake is located at:

From its source, the course of the Jacquot River flows over 22.4 kilometres (13.9 mi) with a drop of 168 metres (551 ft), according to the following segments:

The slope of the river is 4.16 metres per kilometre (22.0 ft/mi) and is relatively constant along the river.[3]

After having cut the chemin du rang Saint-Georges, the Jacquot river flows on the northwest bank of the Sainte-Anne River at 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) downstream from the Cascades bridge. From there, the current descends on 55.0 kilometres (34.2 mi) generally south and southwest following the course of the Sainte-Anne river, to the northwest bank of the St. Lawrence river.[2]

The use of the soil near the river is mainly forest and agricultural.[3]


Toponymy


The toponym Rivière Jacquot was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[4]
