Geography

The Weller River rises at Lac Carillon (length: ; altitude: ) which straddles the boundary of the municipalities of Saint-Ubalde (Quebec) and Notre-Dame-de-Montauban. The resort developed in certain segments of the northwest and southwest shores of the lake because of Enchanted Street (north shore) and Chemin des Ballades (southwest shore). The mouth of the lake is located at the bottom of a small bay southwest of the lake.
