Английская Википедия:Chézine River
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Infobox river The Rivière Chézine (English: Chézine River) is a tributary of the Sainte-Anne River flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche and the municipality of Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.
The lower part of the Chézine river is mainly served by the forest road R0354 (north–south direction) for the needs of forestry and recreational tourism activities. The upper part is served by the forest road R0300 (north–south direction) which passes on the east side of Chézine Lake. While the intermediate part has no access road because of the high cliffs on each side of the river.[1]
The main economic activities in the sector are forestry and recreational tourism activities.[1]
The surface of the Chézine River (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, but the safe circulation on the ice is generally made 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.
Geography
The Chézine River rises at the mouth of Chézine Lake (length: Шаблон:Convert; altitude Шаблон:Convert) in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche. This lake between the mountains is fed by only two mountain streams. A mountain peak culminates at Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert north of the lake. The mouth of Lake Chézine is located Шаблон:Convert west of the course of the Jacques-Cartier River, Шаблон:Convert north of the center of village of Saint-Raymond and Шаблон:Convert north of the confluence of the Sainte-Anne river with the Saint Lawrence river.[1]

- Шаблон:Convert towards the south by crossing two small lakes, until the discharge (coming from the northwest) of an unidentified lake;
- Шаблон:Convert towards the south by forking towards the south-east to the outlet (coming from the west) of an unidentified lake;
- Шаблон:Convert towards the south-east in a deep valley, collecting a stream (coming from the north) to the outlet (coming from the south) of Lac Lelièvre;
- Шаблон:Convert towards the south-east in a well-steep valley until the confluence of the Chézine North River (coming from the north);
- Шаблон:Convert to the south in a well-boxed valley, gradually bending towards the south-east until its mouth.[1]

This confluence is located Шаблон:Convert west of the course of the Jacques-Cartier river, Шаблон:Convert north of the center of the village of Saint-Raymond and Шаблон:Convert north of the confluence of the Sainte-Anne river with the Saint-Laurent river.[1]
