About Rivière Saint-Charles

The Rivière Saint-Charles is a river about 35 kilometers (22 miles) long in the Canadian province of Québec, flowing into the Saint Lawrence River as a left tributary. It rises at the regulated Lac Saint-Charles and initially winds its way south before turning east. Its entire course lies within the city limits of Québec City; over the last third of its length it passes through the downtown area and empties into the great river north of the Old Town. The river is lined by the Parc linéaire, which invites leisurely strolls. The 28-meter (92-foot) Kabir Kouba Falls near Wendake offer a special nature experience. The densely populated watershed makes the river a central element of the city's landscape.
