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

The mouth of Salamandre Lake is located at: The Salamandre River (length: 47.3) is the outlet of the Salamandre Lake, which flows into the South Bank of the Broadback River westerly across the Broadback River over 15.3 kilometres (9.5 mi) to the east bank of Corbeau Bay, an extension of Evans Lake.

This convert was originally described as the "Rock-Kenonisca Massif" by Franconi (1974) in his report on the mapping of the western half of the Frotet-Evans volcano-sedimentary band.

It was renamed "Rocher-Salamander Intrusive Suite" by Brisson et al. (1998) when mapping the Lake Rocher area (NTS sheet 32K09).
