The Turgeon River is a river flowing through the municipality of the United Townships of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, located north of the Quebec (city), in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province from Quebec, to Canada.
The upper part of the Turgeon River valley is served by secondary forest roads.
The surface of the Turgeon River (except the rapids areas) is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally done 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.
