The Nebnellis River (called rivière Nebnellis in French) is a cool waterway in Quebec, Canada. It's like a smaller stream that flows into a bigger river called the Chaudière River. The Chaudière River then continues its journey north to join the mighty St. Lawrence River. So, the Nebnellis River is part of a big river family!

As it flows, it eventually reaches its end point, or "mouth," also in Frontenac. Here, it joins the Chaudière River at a lower elevation of about 347 meters (around 1,138 feet).
The River's Name
The name "Rivière Nebnellis" was officially recognized on December 5, 1968. This was done by the Commission de toponymie du Québec, which is a group that names places in Quebec.
