The surface of "Lac aux Rognons" is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.

In the prehistory of this region, this lake proved to be an inescapable milestone of the waterways used by the Amerindians between the St. Lawrence Valley and Lac Saint-Jean.

The Huron Wendats who settled in the region of Quebec (city) in the middle of the 17th century, had to break into the natural hunting and fishing territories of other Aboriginal nations.

In addition, the Innu lost interest in the region north of Quebec (city), where game was declining due to the presence of French settlers.

[3] The toponym "lac aux Rognons" was formalized on December 5, 1968, by the Commission de toponymie du Québec.
