The Lepage River originates from a creek in a wetland at the confluence of two streams (elevation: 339 metres (1,112 ft)) at:

  • 16.3 kilometres (10.1 mi) Southeast of the Canadian National Railway bridge over the Bell River at Senneterre, Quebec;
  • 15.1 kilometres (9.4 mi) South of the mouth of the Lepage River (confluence with the Senneterre River);
  • 8.6 kilometres (5.3 mi) South of the Canadian National Railway;
  • 9.7 kilometres (6.0 mi) Northeast of a bay on the East shore of Tiblemont Lake.

From its source, the river Lepage flows over 20.2 kilometres (12.6 mi) entirely in forest zone and crossing some wetlands, according to these segments:

gollark: I was asking hydraz what he thought the page should look like.
gollark: <@107118134875422720>
gollark: Well, *sorry*. What do you *want* on it?
gollark: I've written```Coroutines are Lua's way of handling concurrency - running multiple things "at once". They act somewhat similarly to threads on computers, except coroutines must explicitly transfer control back to their parent - only one is actually run at any given time. This is what [[coroutine.yield]] does. Many things internally use [[coroutine.yield]], such as [[os.pullEvent]], [[sleep]] and anything else which waits for events.You can create a coroutine with [[coroutine.create]] - pass it a function and it will return a coroutine. This coroutine will initially not be running (use [[coroutine.status]] to check its status - it should show "suspended")See also [http://lua-users.org/wiki/CoroutinesTutorial the Lua users' wiki].```so far, but I'm really not too great at documentation...
gollark: We should put it up *somewhere*.
