The rivière Noire (English: Black River) is a tributary of the rivière des Hurons, flowing in the heart of the municipality of the townships of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, located north of the city of Quebec, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of the Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
The Black River rises from a small forest lake located on the east side of Talbot Boulevard, at the height of kilometer 72.5 of the Antonio-Talbot road in the heart of the municipality of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury in the Laurentians and 4.1 kilometres (2.5 mi) northwest of the village center of Saint-Adolphe.
From its source, the Black River flows over 8.7 kilometres (5.4 mi) in a deep valley, with a drop of 149 metres (489 ft).
This name derives from the fact that, during heavy rains, the river water from the high mountains bordering it turns black.
