Geography

Lac au Lard has a length of 6.9 kilometres (4.3 mi), a width of 0.7 kilometres (0.43 mi) and an altitude of 321 metres (1,053 ft).[1]

This lake is made in length. A road bridge over the forest road R0400 intersects the northern part of the lake, thus forming a bay stretching for 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) to the northwest.

Lac au Lard has several small bays.[1]

The mouth of Lac au Lard is located 12.0 kilometres (7.5 mi) North-West of the mouth of the confluence of the Jeannotte River with the Batiscan River, near which passes the Canadian National railway, and 9.6 kilometres (6.0 mi) east of Petit lac Wayagamac.[1]

From the mouth of Lac au Lard, the current descends successively towards the northeast on 1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi), on 20.8 kilometres (12.9 mi) first towards the south then towards the east following the course of the Jeannotte River, and on the course of the Batiscan river towards the south which flows on the northwest bank of the St. Lawrence river.[1]

Toponymy

The toponym "lac au Lard" was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[3]
