The rivière du Camp Brûlé (English: burnt camp river) is a tributary of the east bank of the rivière des Neiges, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.

This valley is mainly served by a secondary forest road going up the south-eastern bank of the "rivière du Camp Brûlé". This route is mainly used for forestry and recreational tourism activities.

Because of its altitude, the surface of the upper part of the rivière du Camp Brûlé is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the end of March; however, safe traffic on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.

Geography

The "rivière du Camp Brûlé" originates from a small mountain lake, southeast of the limit of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve. This source is located south-west of the course of the Brûlée River, to the north-east of the confluence of the "rivière du Camp Brûlé" and the Rivière des Neiges, west of the west bank of the Saint Lawrence River and north of the mouth of the Montmorency River.

From its source, the course of the rivière du Camp Brûlé descends on entirely in the forest zone, with a drop of according to the following segments:

Upper part of the rivière du Camp Brûlé (segment of)

Lower part of the rivière du Camp Brûlé (segment of)

From the confluence of the Camp Brûlé river, the current descends on southwards the course of the Rivière des Neiges, then flows on generally towards the south by the course of the Montmorency River, up to the northwest shore of the Saint-Laurent river.[1]
