The rivière des Aulnaies is a tributary of La Belle Rivière, flowing the municipality of Hébertville, in the Lac-Saint-Jean-Est Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.

The valley of the Aulnaies river is served by the route 169 (connecting Quebec (city) to Alma), by the chemin du 2e rang Est, rue La Barre and chemin du Rang Saint-Isidore, especially for forestry, agriculture and residents of the sector.

Agriculture is the main economic activity in this valley; village activities, second.

The surface of the Rivière des Aulnaies 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.
