The Lombrette river is a tributary of the Sainte-Anne River flowing on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River, in the administrative region of the Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. This river flows consecutively through the regional county municipalities (MRC) of:
- Charlevoix Regional County Municipality: in the municipality of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François;
- La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality: in the municipality of Saint-Tite-des-Caps.
This small valley is mainly served by the route 138 which normally runs along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River; however, it distances itself from the river in this area of Charlevoix. Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; second-hand tourist activities.
The surface of the Lombrette River is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the end of March; 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.
