The Brûlée River (Champlain River tributary) is flowing entirely in the municipality of Saint-Maurice, in the Les Chenaux Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in Quebec, Canada.
The course of the Brûlée river flows on the east side of the Saint-Maurice River and on the north side of the St. Lawrence River. This river is part of the hydrographic side of the Champlain River which generally winds north-east, then south-east, to the north shore of the St. Lawrence River.
With the exception of a short forest area at the start and end of its course, the Brûlée River descends mainly in agricultural areas.
Toponymy The term "burned" is used to identify a certain number of realities, often related to fire, to a fire started either by nature (lightning or other) or by the hand of man, consequence of an accident, negligence or a deliberate, voluntary act.
The flames ravaged, destroying trees sometimes for weeks, spreading to nearby forests. At the same time, the "burned" created a large tract of fertile land, at least during the first years of its exploitation.
