The area around Lake Amédée is served by a few forest roads. The eastern part of the Amédée river valley is indirectly served by the Trans-Quebec-Labrador highway (route 389).[1]
Forestry is the main economic activity around the lake.[2]
The surface of Lake Amédée is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; traffic on the ice is generally safe from mid-December to mid-March.
Lac Amédée is located in the northwestern part of the territory of the town of Baie-Comeau. This lake in the western part of thae township of Laflèche is the main body of water on the slope of the river of the same name. Lac Amédée has a length of 2.6 km (1.6 mi), a maximum width of 1.1 km (0.68 mi) and an altitude of 81 m (266 ft).[2]
From the mouth of Lake Amédée, the current descends on 10.1 km (6.3 mi) generally towards the south-east following the course of the Amédée River, in particular by crossing the urban territory of Baie-Comeau, to flow onto the north shore of the Manicouagan estuary.
Toponymedit
Formerly, the hydromyne "Lac Amédée" was designated "Lac aux Perchaudes" and "Lac à l'Aigle". The acronym "lac Amédée" has appeared since at least 1933 on cartographic documents.
This acronym evokes the memory of foreman Amédée Couillard-Després, first manager of the Manicouagan sawmill. This company was founded in 1898 in Baie-Comeau by the Damase brothers and Henri Jalbert. This company specialized in cutting logs to make lumber (especially planks); these products were intended for export to Europe.
The toponym "lac Amédée" was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Place Names Bank of the "Commission de toponymie du Québec".[3]
