Apart from the passage of the river near hamlet and near the village of Saint-Basile, the Rivière des Sept Îles flows mainly in agricultural and forestry areas, being the main economic activities of this small valley .
The lower part of this valley is served by boulevard du Centenaire, rue Sainte-Angélique which turns north on chemin du rang Sainte-Angélique. The upper part is served by Chemin du Grand Rang, Chemin du Rang de la Montagne and Chemin de Bourg-Louis.[1]
The surface of the Sept Îles river (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from late December to early March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
