The Notre Dame Mountains are a portion of the Appalachian Mountains, extending from the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec to the Green Mountains of Vermont.
The range runs from northeast to southwest, forming the southern edge of the St. Lawrence River valley, and following the Canada - United States border between Quebec and Maine. The mountainous New Brunswick "panhandle" is located in the Notre Dame range as well as the upper reaches of the Connecticut River valley in New Hampshire.
As the mountains are geologically old, they have eroded to an average height of around 2000 feet (600 metres).
