Apart from the passage of the river near the village of Saint-Basile, the Chaude river flows mainly in agricultural and forestry areas, being the main economic activities of this small valley.
This small valley is served by chemin du rang Saint-Georges, rue Saint-Georges, boulevard du Centenaire, chemin du rang Sainte-Anne, route Côme-Lavallée, chemin du rang des Alain, route Saint-Joseph, the Misaël-Matte road and the 1st rue du Domaine-Allouette. The upper part is served by Chemin du Grand Rang, Chemin du Rang de la Montagne and Chemin de Bourg-Louis.[1]
The surface of the Chaude River (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from late December to early March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
