Ventadour Lake (Ventadour River)
The Ventadour Lake is a freshwater body of the southeastern portion of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay, in Jamésie, in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
This body of water extends in the townships of Ventadour and Feuquières. Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector. Recreational tourism activities come second.

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