This forest and mountain valley is served by a forest road passing on the east side of the river. Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; second, recreational tourism.

Because of its altitude, the surface of the upper Red River is generally frozen from late November to early April; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.


Geography


The Rouge River takes its source from a small lake (length: 0.24 kilometres (0.15 mi); altitude: 598 metres (1,962 ft)) landlocked between the mountains. The mouth of this lake is located in the municipality of Château-Richer, at:

The Rouge River flows into a bend on the east bank of the Montmorency River. From this confluence of the Rouge River, the current flows over 34.7 kilometres (21.6 mi) generally south by the course of the Montmorency River, to the northwest shore of the St. Lawrence River.[2]


Toponymy


The toponym "Rivière Rouge" was formalized on December 13, 1996 at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[1]
