Geography
Charron Lake has a length of 5.4 kilometres (3.4
mi), a maximum width of 2.8 kilometres (1.7
mi) and an altitude of 399 metres (1,309
ft). The outline of the lake resembles the distorted letter M. A peninsula detaches itself from the North shore, near the mouth of the Boisvert River (Normandin River) and stretches south for 1.4 kilometres (0.87
mi). This lake has 35 islands, the largest of which has a length of 0.7 kilometres (0.43
mi). The hamlet "Rivière-Boisvert" is located at the mouth of the lake, along route 167, where a campground is set up.
The mouth of Lake Charron is located at:
The main hydrographic slopes near Charron Lake are:
- North side: Boisvert River (Normandin River), Boisvert Lake, Armitage River, Énard River, Chibougamau Lake;
- East side: Coquille River (Normandin River), Chaudière River (Normandin River), Ashuapmushuan River;
- south side: Nicabau Lake, Rohault Lake, Normandin River, Bouteroue Lake;
- West side: Malo Lake, Obatogamau Lakes, Nemenjiche Lake, Nemenjiche River, Opawica River.
The Boisvert River flows to the bottom of a bay on the northeast shore of Charron Lake, which the current crosses over 4.3 kilometres (2.7
mi) to its mouth located at the route 167. From there, the current flows through "Lac la Blanche" on 7.4 kilometres (4.6
mi), Lake Jourdain on 9.8 kilometres (6.1
mi) and
Nicabau Lake on 9.7 kilometres (6.0
mi) to the dam at its mouth. From there, the current flows south-east along the
Normandin River on 38.7 kilometres (24.0
mi) to the northwestern shore of
Ashuapmushuan Lake. Then, the current flows through the
Ashuapmushuan River which flows to
Saint-Félicien, Quebec on the west shore of
Lac Saint-Jean.
Toponymy
Formerly, this lake was designated "lac la Blanche" because of its extension to the north of the current "lac la Blanche" (English: White Lake). The term "Charron" is a family name of French origin.
The toponym "Lac Charron" was formalized on December 5, 1968, by the Commission de toponymie du Québec, i.e. at the creation of this commission.[2]
