The Rivière à la Croix is a tributary of the Saguenay River, flowing in the municipality of Saint-Félix-d'Otis, in the Fjord-du-Saguenay, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province from Quebec, to Canada.
The valley of the "Rivière à la Croix" is served by the "Chemin de l'Anse aux érables" and the "chemin du lac à la Croix", for forestry, agriculture and recreational tourism. Some secondary forest roads serve this valley.
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second. This valley contains some dwellings distributed in small deforested areas.
The surface of the Rivière à la Croix is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.
