About
The Lac Archambault is a freshwater body crossed from north to south by the Sautauriski River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the regional county municipality (MRC) La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in province of Quebec, in Canada. Lac Archambault is located in Jacques-Cartier National Park. The watershed of Lake Archambault is mainly served on the east side by the route 175 which connects the cities of Quebec and Saguenay. A few secondary roads serve this area for forestry and recreational tourism activities. Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second. The surface of Lake Archambault is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from late December to early March.
