L'Escaut prend sa source près de Gouy au nord de Saint-Quentin, dans l'Aisne, au pied de l'abbaye du Mont-Saint-Martin. Elle est située à 49° 59' 12,95" Nord et 3° 15' 59,40" Est et à une altitude de 97 mètres. L'Escaut naît dans un bassin briqueté, au fond d'un vallon ombragé.
Sur le site, on trouve une statue représentant un enfant sur le dos d'un dauphin. Cette statue a été offerte par la ville d'Anvers, en guise de remerciement pour la prospérité que le fleuve lui a apportée.
