Tourilli Lake
The lake Tourilli is a freshwater body at the head of the Tourilli River, flowing in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve. This lake is located entirely in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, administrative region of the Capitale-Nationale, in province of Quebec, in Canada.

The Lac Tourilli watershed is served by a few secondary forest roads for the purposes of forestry and recreational tourism activities.

Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second.

The surface of Lac Tourilli is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the end of December to the beginning of March.

 the first stretches over  to the south and receives the discharge (coming from the south) from Lake Vermuy;
 the second on  to the west and receives the discharge (coming from the northwest) from Lac Josselin;
 the third on  towards the north;
 the fourth in the form of growth comprising seven islands stretches over  towards the mouth of the lake.

The mouth of Lac Tourilli is located  southwest of Gregory Lake,  west of the course of Jacques-Cartier River and  north of the confluence of the Tourilli River and the Sainte-Anne River.

From the mouth of Lac Tourilli, the current descends on  first to the north, then generally to the south, following the course of the Tourilli river until its confluence with the Sainte-Anne River; thence, the current generally flows south by borrowing the current from the Sainte-Anne river to the northeast bank of the Saint-Laurent river.
