The Amyot River flows through the municipalities of Saint-Bernard-de-Michaudville, Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu and Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, in the MRC La Vallée-du-Richelieu, in the administrative region of Montérégie, on the south shore of Fleuve Saint-Laurent, in the southwest of province from Quebec, to Canada.

Besides a small forest area in the upper part of the river, agriculture is the main economic activity in this small valley.

The river surface is generally frozen from mid-December to the end of March. Safe traffic on the ice is generally from late December to early March. The river's water level varies with the seasons and the precipitation.
