Allioux Lake

About

The lac Allioux is a freshwater body located northeast in of Quebec City, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. This body of water is part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve. The hydrographic side of Lac Allioux is served by a secondary forest road for forestry purposes. Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second. Because of the altitude, the surface of Lake Allioux is generally frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the beginning of December until the beginning of April.
