Charest River

The Charest River originates from Charest Lake in the Montauban-les-Mines area, located in the eastern part of Notre-Dame-de-Montauban, within the Mekinac Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Mauricie in the province of Quebec, Canada. It flows southward, passing through several regions and receiving water from lakes such as Mine, Perron, Perreault, and End in its upper course. The river serves agricultural and recreational tourism activities predominantly, with forestry also playing a significant role in the local economy. During winter, except for rapid zones, the Charest River generally freezes from early December to late March, with safe ice circulation occurring from late December to early March.
