Savoie River

The Savoy River (in French: rivière Savoy) is a tributary of the west bank of the Chaudière River which flows north to empty onto the south bank of the Saint Lawrence River. It flows in the municipalities of Saint-Elzéar and Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce, in the La Nouvelle-Beauce Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Chaudière-Appalaches, in Quebec, in Canada.

Geography
The main neighboring watersheds of the Savoie river are:
 * north side: Vallée River, rivière des Îles Brûlées, Chaudière River;
 * east side: Chaudière River;
 * south side: Nadeau River, Lessard River, Cliche River, rivière des Fermes;
 * west side: Aulnaies stream, Beaurivage River, Fourchette River, Filkars River.

The Savoie river has its source in the Haut-Saint-Olivier range, in the municipality of Saint-Elzéar, on the north slope of Mont du Cosmos. This head zone is located 2.0 km southwest of the center of the village of Saint-Elzéar, at 5.5 km west of the Chaudière River and 3.8 km north of the summit of Mont Saint-André.

From its source (i.e. at the level of the Haut-Saint-Olivier road), the Savoie river flows on 7.2 km divided into the following segments:
 * 1.8 km north-east, in the municipality of Saint-Elzéar, to a road on Rang Haut-Saint-Jacques, which it cuts at 0.6 km south of the village center;
 * 1.6 km north-east, up to Chemin du Haut-Saint-Thomas, which marks out the municipalities of Saint-Elzéar and Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce;
 * 3.8 km northeasterly, crossing the rang Saint-Étienne-Sud road (which runs along the east bank of the Chaudière River), to its confluence.

The Savoie river empties on the west bank of the Chaudière River, in Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce. This confluence is located 4.9 km downstream from the confluence of the Nadeau River and Lessard River, as well as at 2.6 km upstream of the Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce bridge.

Toponymy
The toponym Rivière Savoie was formalized on October 6, 1983, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.
