Geography

With a length of 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) and a maximum width of 1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi), Carillon Lake has five islands. Deformed in nature, this lake has three parts:

• western part: with a length of 0.8 kilometres (0.50 mi), this part is separated from the central part by two facing peninsulas and by an island (length: 0.35 kilometres (0.22 mi)) between the two peninsulas; thus, two small straits allow pleasure craft to connect the central part of the lake;
• central part: of a length: 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi), this part comprises three islands and is attached to a peninsula attached to the south shore, stretching over 0.8 kilometres (0.50 mi) north and separating the eastern and central part of the lake;
• eastern part: the eastern part has a length of 1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi) in the north–south direction.

Lac Carillon is located 0.4 kilometres (0.25 mi) southwest of Montauban Lake. The mouth of Carillon Lake is located at the bottom of a small bay on the southeast shore of the lake at:

• 4.6 kilometres (2.9 mi) north-east of Blanc Lake;
• 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) north-east of Emerald Lake;
• 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) northwest of Sept Îles Lake;
• 3.3 kilometres (2.1 mi) southwest of Long Lake;
• 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi) north of the village center of Saint-Ubalde.

Comprising 70 kilometres (43.50 mi), the Portneuf Regional Natural Park includes in particular the Long lakes, Montauban, Carillon, Sept Îles, Lac en Coeur, "À l'Anguille" and some other more secondary bodies of water. This park is popular for recreational and tourist activities: hiking trails, cross-country skiing, boat launching ramp ...

From the mouth of Carillon Lake, the current flows over:

• 16.7 kilometres (10.4 mi) to the east, then to the south in particular by crossing Sept Îles Lake, following the course of the Weller River;
• 18.1 kilometres (11.2 mi) south and southeast by the Blanche River;
• 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) to the south by the Noire River;
• 11.5 kilometres (7.1 mi) towards the south by the Sainte-Anne River which flows on the northwest bank of the Saint-Laurent river.[2]
