The Noire River (in French: rivière Noire) is a tributary of the north shore of the Huron River. The latter's current flows into the rivière du Chêne which flows onto the south shore of the St. Lawrence River.
The Rivière Noire flows through the municipalities of Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur-d'Issoudun and Sainte-Croix-de-Lotbinière, in the Lotbinière Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Chaudière-Appalaches, in Québec, in Canada.
The main neighboring watersheds of the Black River are:
The Black River has its source in Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur-d'Issoudun. This area is located south of the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, southwest of the village center of Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly, at west of the center of the village of Saint-Apollinaire, at north of the village of Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur-d'Issoudun and north of the center of the village of Laurier-Station.
From its source, the Rivière Noire flows on towards the south-west including (divided into two segments) in Sainte-Croix-de-Lotbinière. Its course intersects route 271.[1]
The confluence of the Rivière Noire is located at the Route Frenette bridge connecting the route du 5e Rang and the route du sixth Rang, in the municipality of Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur-d'Issoudun. This confluence is located only from the limit of Saint-Janvier-de-Joly.
The toponym "rivière Noire" was made official on August 8, 1977, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[2]
