The East Patapédia River runs in the unorganized territory of Lac-des-Eaux-Mortes, Quebec, in La Matapedia Regional County Municipality (RCM), in the administrative region of Bas-Saint-Laurent, in Quebec, in Canada.
This stream flows in the forest zone to the southeast. The upper part of the valley is an extension to the south of the Lake Mitis valley. A segment of 8.8 kilometres (5.5 mi) south of the hamlet "30 Miles" is the eastern boundary of the Zec du Bas-Saint-Laurent.
East Patapedia River flows on the north bank of the Patapédia River which flows southeast to the west bank of the Restigouche River. The latter, in turn, flows east to the west bank of the Chaleur Bay which opens to the east on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
The upper part of the river is served on the North side by the "route du 30 Milles" (English: road of 30 Miles), from Saint-Zenon-du-Lac-Humqui, Quebec and the west side by the forest roads of the Zec du Bas-Saint-Laurent. The lower portion is served by the forest road from the village "Le Dépôt" (English: The deposit), located in the unorganized territory of Ruisseau-Ferguson, Quebec.
