The Cabonga Reservoir (French: Réservoir Cabonga) is a man-made lake in central Quebec, Canada, with a total surface area of 677 square kilometres (261 sq mi) and a net area (water only) of 484 square kilometres (187 sq mi).
[2] It is located on the boundary between the unorganized territories of Lac-Pythonga and Réservoir-Dozois, and fully within the La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve.
[3] Many fishing magazines and websites consider Cabonga Reservoir one of North America's top 20 walleye and northern pike waters.
[4] Also, Outdoor Canada magazine includes it among its "simply the best" hot spots for lake trout fishing.
Some 37 natural lakes were thus combined and formed a single reservoir with an area of 404 square kilometres (156 sq mi), dotted with innumerable islands (some with considerable proportions) and deep bays.
