Lac du Poisson Blanc, reservoir in Laurentides and Outaouais, Quebec, Canada
Lac du Poisson Blanc is a large reservoir in Notre-Dame-du-Laus and Bowman with calm waters surrounded by forests and rocky shores. The water reflects the sky while the natural environment shows minimal signs of development.
The lake was traditionally used by local communities for fishing and small-scale transportation before becoming a popular outdoor recreation area. The establishment of a regional park brought better management and protection to the site.
The lake is central to the local community, where people gather for fishing and boating while sharing experiences and stories. The simple way of life and respect for nature shape how everyone behaves in this region.
The reservoir has public boat launch sites in Bowman and Notre-Dame-du-Laus where visitors can easily put boats into the water. It is best to avoid GPS navigation and follow recommended signs, as incorrect routing can lead to difficult access routes.
The name comes from the once abundant whitefish that gave the lake its identity, reflecting the historical importance of this species to the region. Over 50 small islands dot the lake, some bearing distinctive names like the Church Cave and offering hidden coves and natural treasures.
