Shawinigan is a city located on the Mauricie river. It was developed as a producer of hydroelectricity due to the Shawinigan Falls. Later it developed industrially in the pulp and textile secteurs.
Much of the local Grenvillian rock has been blasted and deposited along Route 153 on the shore of the Mauricie River. Amphibolites and sillimanite garnet gneiss is seen in the rip rap along the river.
