Lac Sacacomie, Natural lake in Saint-Alexis-des-Monts, Canada.

Lac Sacacomie is a body of water in Saint-Alexis-des-Monts with two main sections connected by land projections. It contains several islands and forms a sizable expanse of water.

The water was documented in 1749 by Pehr Kalm, who connected the name to a plant that French settlers mixed into their tobacco. This early record shows how the place mattered to early European communities.

The Abenaki people named this water Sagakhimen, a word referring to blueberries that grew abundantly in the surrounding region.

A municipal dock provides boat access near parking areas and launching ramps. Fees apply for non-residents and those using motorized watercraft.

The water has multiple bays along different shorelines, connected to the surrounding river system through a waterway. This structure creates varied landscapes for those on the water.
