Several watercourses in the Trois Pistoles River watershed flow through the municipality. From Lac de la Grande Fourche in the centre, the Sénescoupé River flows northeast. The Toupiké River crosses the southwest to the northeast. The Petite Fourche River crosses the south-west to its confluence with the Toupiké River. The Plate River crosses the south-east tip towards the north-east. The Mariakèche River makes a brief incursion into the north-west.
