The Mailloux River is a tributary of the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, in the municipality of La Malbaie, in the Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The southern part of this small valley is accessible by the Chemin du Golf and the Boulevard de Comporté which runs along the south of the river, as well as by the Chemin du rang Saint-Charles. The main economic activities in this valley are linked to the urban economy and particularly to tourist accommodation. Agriculture and forestry characterize the upper part of this valley.
The surface of the Mailloux River is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the end of March; however, safe traffic on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
