Noire River (rivière aux Pommes)

The rivière Noire (English: Black River) is a tributary of the rivière aux Pommes, flowing in the municipalities of Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Pont-Rouge and Neuville, in the Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, Canada.

The surface of the Black River (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March.

The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.

[3] From this confluence, the current descends the rivière aux Pommes for 7.0 kilometres (4.3 mi) towards the southwest by winding in agricultural area, to the east bank of the Jacques-Cartier River.

[3] The toponym "rivière Noire" was formalized on December 5, 1968 at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.
