Geography[]

The Loutre river has its source in a mountainous area in the first rang of the municipality of Saint-Paul-de-Montminy in the Notre Dame Mountains.[1]

From its source, the Rivière à la Loutre "flows through a valley steeped in 7.0 km (4.3 mi) according to the following segments:

  • 2.7 km (1.7 mi) north-west, up to rang Sainte-Anne-Ouest road;
  • 2.8 km (1.7 mi) west, crossing the Sirois-Sud road, to the main west street that it intersects at 1.2 km (0.75 mi) southwest of the center the village of Sainte-Euphémie-sur-Rivière-du-Sud;
  • 1.5 km (0.93 mi) towards the west, collecting a stream (coming from the east), until its confluence.[1]

Rivière à la Loutre empties onto the south shore of the Rivière du Sud (Montmagny) near the boundary of the municipalities of Armagh and Sainte-Euphémie-sur-Rivière-du-Sud.[1]
