The lower part of the Chézine river is mainly served by the forest road R0354 (north–south direction) for the needs of forestry and recreational tourism activities. The upper part is served by the forest road R0300 (north–south direction) which passes on the east side of Chézine Lake. While the intermediate part has no access road because of the high cliffs on each side of the river.[1]
The main economic activities in the sector are forestry and recreational tourism activities.[1]
The surface of the Chézine River (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, but the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from the end of December to the beginning of March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
