The Tonnerre River flows entirely in the Township of Ducharme. Forestry is the main economic activity of this valley; recreational tourism activities, second.

The route 167 (northwesterly) connecting Chibougamau to Saint-Félicien, Quebec cuts the middle of the Tonnerre River. The Canadian National Railway runs along this road.

The surface of the Tonnerre River is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.

Geography

The hydrographic slopes adjacent to the Tonnerre River are:

The Tonnerre River originates at the mouth of "Île Ronde Lake" (length: 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) width: 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) altitude: 406 metres (1,332 ft)) in the township of Ducharme. The mouth of this head lake is located at:

From the mouth of Round Island Lake, the "Tonnerre River" flows over 12.6 kilometres (7.8 mi), according to the following segments:

  • 2.3 kilometres (1.4 mi) towards the Southwest, to the dump (coming from the North-West) of the Crouton lakes, the Pooh, the Bannock, Astier and Carei;
  • 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) southeasterly to the outlet (from the southeast) of Wilfrid Lake;
  • 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) southwesterly to route 167;
  • 2.1 kilometres (1.3 mi) south by cutting the Canadian National Railway, then crossing Harquail Lake (length: 2.3 kilometres (1.4 mi); altitude: 392 metres (1,286 ft)), to its mouth;
  • 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) southerly crossing Verreault Lake (elevation: 389 kilometres (242 mi)) along its entire length to its mouth. Note: This lake is also fed by the outlet (coming from the North-East) of Jacques-Drouin, Guitare and Hassels lakes.[2]

The confluence of the "Tonnerre River" with the Normandin River is located at:

The Tonnerre River flows into a small bay on the north shore of the Normandin River, downstream of the dam at the mouth of Nicabau Lake. From there, the current flows south-east along the Normandin River on 38.7 kilometres (24.0 mi) to the northwestern shore of Ashuapmushuan Lake. Then, the current takes the course of the Ashuapmushuan River which flows to Saint-Félicien, Quebec on the west shore of Lac Saint-Jean.
