The route 138 runs along the eastern and upper part of this small valley. While the Chemin de la Pointe which runs along the western part of Baie Saint-Paul, serves the lower part. Recreational and tourist activities are the main economic activities in this area thanks in particular to the "Massif de Charlevoix" alpine ski center, which is located very close to the east side of the upper part of this river and whose mountainside is suitable for skiing alpine faces the river.
The surface of the Moulin river is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the end of March, except the backwater areas; however, safe traffic on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
The Moulin river rises at the mouth of a small lake (length: 0.26 kilometres (0.16 mi); altitude: 442 metres (1,450 ft)) in a hamlet, between the Saint- Jean (on the west side) and Mont Gabrielle-Roy (on the east side) in the municipality of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François. This source is located at:
0.24 kilometres (0.15 mi) west of route 138 which moves 5 to 6 kilometers away from the St. Lawrence River in this area;
1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) west of the summit of Mont Gabriel-Roy (altitude: 710 metres (2,330 ft));
5.8 kilometres (3.6 mi) west of the northwest shore of the St. Lawrence River;
From its source, the course of this river descends on 8.5 kilometres (5.3 mi) with a drop of 438 metres (1,437 ft), according to the following segments:
3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) north-east, to the outlet (coming from the south-east) of three small lakes;
4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) north-east passing on the east side of the hamlets Côte Saint-Antoine and Dufour, then down the cliff away from route 138 on its east side, to a bend in the river corresponding to the outlet of the middle stream (coming from the northwest);
0.4 kilometres (0.25 mi) to the east, cutting the railway, to its mouth.[1]
The Moulin River flows on the west shore of Baie Saint-Paul from the northwest shore of St. Lawrence River, in the municipality of Baie-Saint-Paul. This confluence is located at:
1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) south-west of the confluence of the Malbaie River;
2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) south-east of Baie-Saint-Paul town center;
1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) east of a curve on route 138.[1]
