Lake Kiskissink

The Lake Kiskissink is located in the La Tuque (urban agglomeration), in Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada.

The area surrounding the lake is administered by the Zec Kiskissink[1] Located at 63 km (direct line) northeast of La Tuque downtown, 42 km (direct line) southwest of Chambord, and 21 km north east of Lac-Édouard, the Kiskissink lake has a very elongated shape in the north-south direction.

Several artifacts from Amerindian prehistory have been found in this area of the Haute-Mauricie where thirty sites of archaeological potential were identified.

For example, in 1630, Aboriginal communities were passing through this area for which lake Kiskissink was a center of interest.

The arrival of the railway is the main factor in the creation of private hunting and fishing clubs in the area.
