It is a spring-fed, glacial lake situated in the Thickwood Hills[2] and surrounded by boreal forests.

[3] From the north end of the lake, a short stream flows out and meets Big River.

A regional park, the small community of Victoire, and Bay View Estates[4] are located on Morin Lake's eastern shore and Big River 118 Indian reserve is to the north.

The park was founded in July 1984 on five acres of land donated by Albert Lalonde Sr.
