The rivière des Perdrix flows in the municipalities of Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire, Cap-Saint-Ignace and Montmagny, in the Montmagny Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Chaudière-Appalaches, in Quebec, in Canada.

The Rivière des Perdrix is a tributary of the south bank of the Bras Saint-Nicolas, which flows on the southeast bank of the rivière du Sud (Montmagny); the latter flows north-east to the south shore of the St. Lawrence River.

The Perdrix River has its source on the northern slope of the "Maple Mountain", on the northern slope of the Notre Dame Mountains, in the municipality of Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire. Several branches of mountain and forest streams feed the head of the Perdrix River.[1]

From its source, the Perdrix River flows over 32.3 kilometres (20.1 mi), divided into the following segments:

  • 3.3 kilometres (2.1 mi) north-east in Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire, to the confluence of a stream branch (coming from the south);
  • 5.9 kilometres (3.7 mi) northward, up to the confluence of the Inconnue River (coming from the south-east);
  • 0.8 kilometres (0.50 mi) north, to the limit between Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire and Cap-Saint-Ignace;
