The Jean-Larose River is a tributary of the Sainte-Anne River, flowing on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. This river successively flows through the regional county municipalities (MRC) of:
- Charlevoix Regional County Municipality: in the unorganized territory of Lac-Pikauba;
- La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality: in the municipalities of Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges and Beaupré.
The lower part of this small valley is served by boulevard les Neiges route 360 which goes up the valley first on the west side, then passes on the east side of the river. Chemin du rang Saint-Julien serves the middle section. Recreational activities are the main economic activity in this valley; forestry, second.
The surface of the lower Jean-Larose River is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe traffic on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March. The upper part has a freezing period of about an additional week. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
