Description


Lake of Two Mountains (French: Lac des Deux Montagnes) is part of the river delta widening of the Ottawa River in Quebec, Canada, at its confluence with the St. Lawrence River. Lake of Two Mountains has four outflows: Rivière des Mille Îles and Rivière des Prairies, bordering Île Jésus, and two branches of the Ottawa River, flowing into the St. Lawrence via Lake Saint-Louis, on either side of Île Perrot. The city of Deux-Montagnes is located on the lake's north shore, where it flows into Rivière des Mille Îles. The southwest portion of the city of Montréal borders the eastern part of the lake, as does the now submerged village of Senneville. Kanesatake (Kanehsatà:ke), a Kanien'kéha:ka Mohawk reserve, is also located along the northern shore. Origin of the name The lake was named lac des Médicis in 1612 by French explorer Samuel de Champlain, then renamed lac des Soissons about 1632. By around 1684 French colonists named it as Lac des Deux Montagnes. The name refers to Calvaire Mountain and Saint-Joseph-du-Lac Hill, the two highest peaks of Mont Oka that face the lake on its northern shore. _____________________________ Le lac des Deux Montagnes est une étendue d'eau douce située dans la région de Montréal au Québec (Canada). C’est un des deux lacs qui baignent l’île de Montréal. Le lac des Deux Montagnes est un élargissement de la rivière des Outaouais en amont de l'archipel d'Hochelaga. Le lac a une superficie d'environ 150 km2. Sa longueur fait 43 km et sa largeur est de 10 km ou moins suivant l'endroit. Il couvre approximativement l'espace entre le barrage de Carillon et celui de Grand-Moulin, légèrement en amont de la confluence de l'Outaouais avec le fleuve Saint-Laurent. Le lac des Deux-Montagnes constitue la frontière naturelle des régions des Laurentides, de la Vallée-du-Haut-Saint-Laurent, de Laval et de Montréal. Le lac fait partie de la Région hydrographique de l'Outaouais et de Montréal.
