The Mauvaise River (English: Bad River) is a tributary of the Bras du Nord flowing in the town of Saint-Raymond, in the Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, in Canada.
The lower part of the Mauvaise River is mainly served by the "chemin du Petit rang Colbert", the "chemin du rang Sainte-Croix" and the "rue des Récollets". The upper and intermediate parts are served by a few forest roads for the needs of forestry and recreational tourism activities.
The main economic activities in the sector are forestry; recreotourism activities, second.
The surface of the Mauvaise River (except rapids) is generally frozen from early December to late March, but safe circulation on the ice is generally from late December to early March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
