The Boisvert River originates at the mouth of an unidentified lake (length: 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi); altitude: 467 metres (1,532 ft)) located near the northwestern limit of the township of Thibaudeau. This headwater body is located on the eastern side of the water separation line; while the west side has a set of water bodies near a set of bodies of water, including the lakes Terrier, Bignell, Eva and Ida, which flow to the Waconichi Lake; the latest is attached to the southern part of Mistassini Lake.

This head lake of the Boisvert River is located at 2.0 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of a mountain peak of 543 metres (1,781 ft). The mouth of this head lake is located at:

The Boisvert River flows into the bottom of a bay on the northeast shore of Charron Lake which the current crosses over 4.3 kilometres (2.7 mi) to its mouth located at route 167. From there, the current crosses Lac la Blanche on 7.4 kilometres (4.6 mi), lake Jordan on 9.8 kilometres (6.1 mi) and Nicabau Lake on 9.7 kilometres (6.0 mi) to the dam at its mouth. From there, the current flows south-east along the Normandin River on 38.7 kilometres (24.0 mi) to the northwestern shore of Ashuapmushuan Lake. Then, the current flows through the Ashuapmushuan River which flows to Saint-Félicien, Quebec on the west shore of Lac Saint-Jean.
