The Petite rivière Batiscan is a tributary of the east bank of the rivière à Pierre, flowing in the unorganized territories of Linton (township of Tonty), in Saint-Raymond (township of Roquemont) and in the municipality of Rivière-à-Pierre (township of Bois), in the Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The course of the Little Batiscan River flows on the northeast side of the Batiscan River and on the northeast side of the St. Lawrence River. This river is part of the hydrographic side of the Batiscan river which generally winds south to the north shore of the St. Lawrence River.
The course of the “Little Batiscan River” descends entirely into the forest zone. The river surface is generally frozen from mid-December until the end of March.
Since the mid-19th century, forestry has been the predominant activity of the Little Batiscan River watershed.
