The Rivière de la Place is a tributary of the east bank of the Métabetchouane River, flowing in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, in the administrative region of the Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. The river flows through the regional county municipalities (MRC) of:
- La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality: the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier;
- La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality: the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche.
Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The "rivière de la Place" surface (except rapids) is usually frozen from late November to early April, however safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to late March.
