Le Petit Bras is a tributary of the southwest bank of the lower part of the watercourse Le Gros Bras, flowing in the municipality of Saint-Urbain, in the Charlevoix Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The lower part of this valley is mainly served by Chemin des Pointes and by Chemin du rang Saint-François which becomes Rue Saint-Édouard in the village of Saint-Urbain. The rest of the valley is served by a few forest roads. Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the lower part of Le Petit Bras is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the beginning of April; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March. The upper part of this stream has a freezing period of about an additional week. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood generally occurs in April.
