The rivière à Idas (English: Idas River) is a tributary of the north bank of the upper part of the Bras du Nord-Ouest, flowing entirely in the town of Baie-Saint-Paul, in the Charlevoix Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
This valley is mainly served by a forest road going up the right bank of the watercourse, as well as by the chemin du rang de Saint-Placide Sud. Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the river in Idas is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the beginning of April; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood generally occurs in April.
