The Rivière Beaurivage is a left tributary of the Rivière Chaudière in the Chaudière-Appalaches administrative region of the Canadian province of Québec .
The Rivière Beaurivage has its origin in the small lake Lac Beaurivage near Saint-Séverin on the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains . It flows in a predominantly northerly direction through the MRC Lotbinière . It passes the places Saint-Patrice-de-Beaurivage , Saint-Gilles and Saint-Étienne-de-Lauzon . The river finally flows south of Les Chutes-de-la-Chaudière-Ouest , a suburb of Lévis , into the Rivière Chaudière. At Saint-Gilles, the Bras d'Henri meets the Rivière Beaurivage on the right. The Rivière Beaurivage has a length of about 65 km. It drains an area of 727 km².
The river name is derived from Gilles Rageot de Beaurivage . On April 1, 1738, this received the Seigneurie Saint-Gilles , which extended over the catchment area of the river.
