This lake is included in the Châteaufort and Marquette townships. Marquette Lake follows the western boundary (distance between 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) and 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi)) outside (west side) of the boundary of the Ashuapmushuan Wildlife Reserve.
Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector. Recreational tourism activities come second.
The Forest Road R0212 (East-West) passes the north side of Marquette Lake. It will join to the East, the route 167 connecting Chibougamau and Saint-Félicien, Quebec, as well as the railway of the Canadian National Railway. Other secondary forest roads serve the vicinity of the lake.
The surface of Lac Marquette is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
Geography
This lake has a length of 14.0 kilometres (8.7
mi) oriented to the northwest, a maximum width of 1.7 kilometres (1.1
mi) and an altitude of 411 metres (1,348
ft). This lake expands to 1.2 kilometres (0.75
mi) thanks to a bay facing east. This bay is the center of a semicircle of about 5.5 kilometres (3.4
mi) of radius on the east side of the lake, with a less rugged terrain whose highest hill reaches an altitude of 492 metres (1,614
ft). On the outskirts of this area, a series of mountains has several peaks, the highest reaching 699 metres (2,293
ft), or 7.3 kilometres (4.5
mi) of the lake. On the west side of the lake, the highest mountain peak is 625 metres (2,051
ft), which is 2.6 kilometres (1.6
mi) from the west shore of the lake.

From the mouth of Marquette Lake, the current of the
Marquette River flows over 64.9 kilometres (40.3
mi) generally to the north, to its mouth northwest of the
Ashuapmushuan Lake. Then the current flows along the
Ashuapmushuan River which flows over 193 kilometres (120
mi) to the northeast, then to the south-east to its confluence with the
lac Saint-Jean where it empties on the West Bank at
Saint-Félicien, Quebec.
Toponymy
The toponym "Lac Marquette" was formalized on October 5, 1982, by the Commission de toponymie du Québec, when it was created.[2]
