The Petite rivière Savane (English: Little Savannah River) is a tributary of the Sainte-Anne River, flowing on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River, in the territory unorganized from Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
This small valley is served on each side of the river by various forest roads. Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the Petite Savane River is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the end of March; however, safe traffic on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March. The upper part has a freezing period of about an additional week. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.
