The Pierre-Paul River flows into the Mékinac Regional County Municipality, in the administrative area of the Mauricie, in the province of Quebec, Canada, through these three municipalities of the Batiscanie: Saint-Tite, Sainte-Thècle and Saint-Adelphe.
This river flowing over 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) rooted at the mouth of Pierre-Paul Lake, located in Rang Saint-Pierre, in the eastern part of the territory of Saint-Tite. Because sometimes mountainous terrain, the main course of the river described a big "Z" through a predominantly agricultural land (a forest in the early part of the course, due to the reforestation of former agricultural land in the area north of Pierre-Paul Lake).
From its source, the river flows through the "road Pierre-Paul" and headed straight north across four lots in row St-Thomas (South) situated in the territory of Saint-Tite, then continuous in Sainte-Thècle, draining 10 lots in row St-Thomas (South), where it crosses the first time the road Charest. At around 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) from its source, the river is a small prank on two lots in row St-George (South) in Sainte-Thècle. Pierre-Paul river receives water from most largest tributaries of the row St-George (South), including Gagnon creek that empties into the river Pierre-Paul on the lot 351-116 of rang St-Thomas (at the limit of rang St-Georges).
The second segment of its course is almost in a straight line and flows on 6.4 kilometres (4.0 mi). Pierre-Paul river bifurcates in rang St-George (South) to almost 160 degrees to the right to head straight south. In this segment of its course, the river flow back into row St-Thomas (South) where it crosses again the road Charest and crossing in diagonal six lots. Its path then crosses the limit of Saint-Adelphe and cut nine lots of row St-Emile. The river is then only 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) from its source. The river continues to flow on six lots in row St-Pierre, before making a small prank on three lots in the 4th row Northeast Rivière des Envies (in Saint-Tite). With its tributaries streams, Pierre-Paul River receives the waters of 4th row Northeast Rivière des Envies and a small area of northern territory of Saint Séverin.
