Where is the Bogue River Located?
The Bogue River is surrounded by other waterways. These are called hydrographic slopes. Think of them as areas where water drains into different rivers or streams.
- To the north, you'll find the Paré stream and the Nicolet Centre River.
- To the east, there's the Paré stream and the Saint-François River.
- The Saint-François River is also to the south.
- To the west, you'll find the outlet of Lac d'Argent and the Nicolet River.
The River's Beginning
The Bogue River starts from a small, unnamed lake. This lake is about 335 metres (1,099 ft) (1,099 feet) above sea level. You can find it in the western part of Weedon, Quebec. It's located west of Weeland Lake and south of "Lac Fer à Cheval." It's also west of a place called "Montagne d'Adjutor."
How the River Flows
The Bogue River flows for about 11.2 kilometres (7.0 mi) (7 miles). It travels in several sections:
- First, it goes southwest for 0.3 kilometres (0.19 mi) (0.19 miles). This takes it to the border between Weedon and Dudswell.
- Then, it continues southwest for 1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi) (1.2 miles). It reaches the bottom of the southeastern side of "Montagne d'Adjutor" in Dudswell.
- Next, it turns southeast for 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) (1.4 miles). It flows up to Route 112.
- After that, it goes south for 4.2 kilometres (2.6 mi) (2.6 miles) to another road.
- Finally, it flows eastward for 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi) (1.6 miles). This leads it to its end, where it joins another river.
Where the River Ends
The Bogue River flows into the northwest side of the Saint-François River. This meeting point is about 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) (1.1 miles) downstream from where the Paré brook joins. It's also downstream from the village of Weedon Centre and upstream from the village of Bishipton.
What's in a Name?
