The Plamondon Creek is a tributary of the Plamondon Bay (Gouin Reservoir) located in the western part of the Gouin Reservoir. This stream runs entirely in forest zone in the town of La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada.
The Plamondon stream flows successively in the townships of Lacasse and Crémazie. Forestry is the main economic activity of this valley; recreational tourism activities, second.
Secondary forest roads serve both sides of the Plamondon Creek valley. Forest Road R1045 serves the upper and western portions of the Plamondon Creek valley. The R1045 road joins the R2046 road eastwards, which in turn links east to the 202 forest road which runs south to serve the peninsula where the village of Obedjiwan, Quebec is located.
The surface of Plamondon Creek is usually frozen from mid-November to the end of April, however, safe ice circulation is generally from early December to late March.
