This lake extends into the townships of Queylus, La Dauversière, Fancamp and Haüy.

The hydrographic slope of Chevrier Lake is accessible by a branch of a forest road connecting to the north at route 113 (linking Lebel-sur-Quévillon and Chibougamau) and the Canadian National Railway.

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

Lake Chevrier has a rather complex shape with several bays, peninsulas and islands.

[2] The toponym "Lac Chevrier" was formalized on December 5, 1968, by the Commission de toponymie du Québec, when it was created.
