Shawinigan, Lac
Shawinigan, Lac, 3.2 km2, 6.3 km long, 80 m deep, lies on Québec's Laurentian Plateau, 70 km north of Lac Saint-Pierre on the St Lawrence River. This lake of glacial gouging is prolonged to the east by Petit Lac Shawinigan, Lac Bernard and Lac en Croix. Rivière Shawinigan runs out of this last lake to meet Rivière SAINT-MAURICE at Baie-de-Shawinigan. The name comes from an Algonquin word meaning "portage on the crest."
