The Lacolle River flows in the municipality of Lacolle, Quebec, in Le Haut-Richelieu Regional County Municipality, Montérégie, on the south shore of St. Lawrence River in Quebec in Canada. The economy of the watershed is primarily agricultural (including orchards) and recreation and tourism including the popular Safari park of Hemmingford which began operating in 1972, the country club golf course and three ciders. == Geography == This small river has its source from several streams on the eastern edge of the Hemmingford township. It flows from west to east in agricultural environments and watered streams including : * the north shore : McLelland, "de la grande décharge" (the large landfill), Duquette, Savage and Richard Gervais; * of the South Shore : O'Connor, Poirier and Beaver Meadow. This small river runs through the Safari Park of Hemmingford township, in the row "9th Concession South Area", heading north, then east to cross the Quebec Autoroute 15. Then the river turns north-east. After cutting the Canadian National Railway track at west of the Richelieu River, the Lacolle River runs directly east, in parallel (north side) to the Quebec Route 202 and the railway. It passes through the village of Lacolle by a large coil, then flows into the Richelieu River by its western shore, north of the border Canada – United States. Its mouth is at the edge of the ranks "1e Concession du Le Domaine" (1st Concession of Le Domaine) and "Concession on the Richelieu River", in the former municipality of the parish of Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel which merged into the municipality of Lacolle in 2001. Its mouth is in a flood zone, at the height of the Ash Island, which is attached to the municipality of Noyan, on opposite side (on the east bank of the Richelieu River)〔Map searches conducted by historian Gaetan Veillette (Saint-Hubert, QC) from cadastral maps 1991 Service Mapping Department of Energy Ressrouces and the Government of Quebec〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lacolle River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
