The De la Rencontre Creek is a tributary of the Du Mâle Lake located in the western part of the Gouin Reservoir, flowing entirely into forest area in the town of La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie, Quebec, Canada.
The "De la Rencontre Creek" flows successively into the cantons of Perrier, Lagacé, Lacasse and Toussaint. Forestry is the main economic activity of this valley; recreational tourism activities, second.
The route R2046 serves the lower eastern portion of the "De la Rencontre Creek" valley and Larouche Lake; that road is in turn eastbound to the 202 Forest Road, which runs south to serve the peninsula where the village of Obedjiwan, Quebec is located.
The surface of the "De la Rencontre Creek" is usually frozen from mid-November to the end of April; however, safe ice circulation is generally from early December to the end of March.
