The area around Lake Amédée is served by a few forest roads. The eastern part of the Amédée river valley is indirectly served by the Trans-Quebec-Labrador highway (route 389).[1]

Forestry is the main economic activity around the lake.[2]

The surface of Lake Amédée is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; traffic on the ice is generally safe from mid-December to mid-March.

Toponym

Formerly, the hydromyne "Lac Amédée" was designated "Lac aux Perchaudes" and "Lac à l'Aigle". The acronym "lac Amédée" has appeared since at least 1933 on cartographic documents.

This acronym evokes the memory of foreman Amédée Couillard-Després, first manager of the Manicouagan sawmill. This company was founded in 1898 in Baie-Comeau by the Damase brothers and Henri Jalbert. This company specialized in cutting logs to make lumber (especially planks); these products were intended for export to Europe.

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