Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Infobox body of water The Fronsac Lake (French: Lac Fronsac) is a freshwater body located in the unorganized territory of Lac-Pikauba, in the Charlevoix Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. This body of water is located in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
Lake Fronsac is one of the head water bodies of the Malbaie River. This mountain lake is entirely located in an area where forestry has always been the predominant economic activity. In the middle of the 19th century, recreational tourism activities took off. Due to the altitude, this lake is normally frozen from the end of October to the end of April; however, the safe ice circulation period is usually from early December to April.
Secondary forest roads serve the southern part of the hydrographic side of Lake Fronsac. Another motorable road serves the northern part. The northeast part has no road.
