The Hebert River flows entirely into the townships of Belmont, Royal, Espinay, Machault and Gradis. Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism activities, second.
The Hébert River valley is served by the R1053 (east-west) forest road that runs north-west and north of Lac Hébert. This road joins the road R1009 (North-South direction) which passes to the East of the Eagle River (Lake Doda).
The surface of the Hebert River is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
