The Mehaigne is a left-hand tributary of the Meuse in Belgium . Over a length of 59 kilometers it flows from its source at Saint-Denis, a district of La Bruyère , a municipality in the province of Namur in the Walloon part of Belgium, to its confluence with the Meuse at Wanze , about 26 km southwest of Liège . Together with its tributary Burdinale, its valley forms the “Valleys of the Burdinale and Mehaigne” nature reserve, a 110 km² nature reserve in the province of Liège.
