Lac Muscocho

About

The Muscocho Lake is a body of water crossed by the Obatogamau River in the territory of Eeyou Istchee James Bay (municipality), in the administrative area of Nord-du-Québec, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. This lake extends in the cantons of Fancamp and Haüy.

Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector. Recreational tourism activities come second.

The hydrographic slope of Muscocho Lake is accessible via the R1040 forest road (going North-South) to the east of the lake and connecting to the north at route 113 (linking Lebel-sur-Quévillon and Chibougamau) and the Canadian National Railway. Haüy Township is located north of the lake.

The surface of Muscocho Lake is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however safe ice movement is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
