The Rivière aux Castors Noirs (English: black beaver river) is a tributary of the Batiscan River, flowing in Haute-Batiscanie, in the province of Québec, Canada. This watercourse crosses:
- the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche which is part of the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale;
- the municipality of Lac-Édouard which is part of the La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie.
This river is located entirely in the forest zone in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, near its western limit. This hydrographic slope is served by some forest roads.
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational activities, second.
The surface of the Black Beaver River (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, but safe circulation on the ice is generally made from the end of December to the beginning of March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation.
