The Landroche river draws its source from agricultural streams located in the territory of the municipality of Baie-du-Febvre, almost at the limit of Saint-Elphège. The Landroche river begins at the confluence of the Roland-Lemire stream and the Geoffroy stream. This confluence is located on the municipal boundary of Saint-Elphège and Baie-du-Febvre.

From its source, the course of the Landroche river flows on 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) towards the north-west, generally in an agricultural zone, with a drop of 24 kilometres (15 mi). The course of the river intersects Chemin du Pays-Brûlé, route 132 and Chemin des Huit. [1]

The Landroche River flows northwest in an agricultural zone, crossing route 132. The river empties on the flats of Pierre à Chaux on the south shore of Lake Saint-Pierre, near Pointe Gabriel, north-east of the village of Baie-du-Febvre.
