[1] A hydroelectric power station on the "Courbe du Sault" section of the river was proposed in the early 2000s.

[5] The Sheldrake River basin is partially in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jérôme, partly in the municipality of Rivière-au-Tonnerre.

[8] In June 2015 the municipality of Rivière-au-Tonnerre signed an agreement with Université Laval to repopulate the salmon of the Sheldrake River.

Fishing had been banned since 2002 due to the critically low number of salmon, and the Ministry of Wildlife carried out a study on how to revitalize the river.

The Baie-Trinité Development Corporation was to contribute 200 smolts captured in the Trinité River, which would be raised to the breeding adult stage at Tadoussac and the Aquatic Sciences Research Laboratory at Laval University.

Five vertical incubators were to be installed at the Sheldrake River hydroelectric facility, with a capacity of 275,000 eggs per year.
