The valley of the "Rivière à la Croix" is served by the "Chemin de l'Anse aux érables" and the "chemin du lac à la Croix", for forestry, agriculture and recreational tourism. Some secondary forest roads serve this valley.[2]
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second. This valley contains some dwellings distributed in small deforested areas.
The surface of the Rivière à la Croix is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
