Lake Manicouagan

Lake Manicouagan lies in the northern forest, within the ancestral territory of the Pessamit Innu. Its long curved basin occupies the eastern side of an ancient impact crater; another lake, Mouchalagane, lies to the west. Rivers descend from the surrounding uplands into their waters, and the Manicouagan flows south toward the St. Lawrence. The lake and its shores formed part of an Innu landscape of camps and journeys, far inland from the great river's estuary.
