context_page_description: The Rivière Lafleur, sometimes called Rivière à la Fleur, is a watercourse of the Île d'Orléans located between the Maheu River and the village of Saint-Jean-de-l'Île-d'Orléans. Its course is exclusively in the municipality of Saint-Jean-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, in the L'Île-d'Orléans Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
  It flows into a small harbor in the St. Lawrence River. It has long offered in its mouth] a shelter for fishing boats stranded at low tide.
  The lower part of this small valley is served by Chemin Royale which runs along the southeast shore of Île d'Orléans. Agriculture is the main economic activity in the upper part of this valley.
  The surface of the Lafleur River is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
