This lake is located at the foot of Laurentian Mountains, at the limit of St. Lawrence Valley.

Winter roads (December to March) allowed the owners of forest lots and forestry contractors to cross the lake on the ice with their cars drawn by horses.

In the Spring, boats (or rafts driven by "cageux") allowed the workers to cross the lake, from the sawmill sector.

A boat pulled the wood on the lake with a "baune" (floating cable) to bring stranded, downstream from the bridge of the landfill.

This public bridge was located close (upstream) of the sawmill of Alfred Saint-Amand.

The first wooden bridge of the municipality of the parish at the mouth of Lake Traverse was built around 1933, for only one lane.

Arthur Perron continued to operate the cabin on a lot later owned by Rolland Cossette.

George Bacon also operated a sugar shack in this area, a lot was later acquired by Leandre Trudel.
