The Rivière Tourilli is a tributary of the Sainte-Anne River flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche and the municipality of Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, at Quebec, in Canada. The upper part of this watercourse crosses the southwest part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.

The lower part of the Tourilli river is mainly served by the forest road R0354 (north–south direction) for the needs of forestry and recreational tourism activities. The upper part is served by the forest road R0355 and the R300.[1]

Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreotourism activities, second.[1]

The surface of the Tourilli River (except the rapids zones) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, but the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from the end of December to the beginning of March. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
