Blue Sea Lake (in French: Lac Blue Sea) is a lake in the municipalities of Blue Sea and Messines, Quebec, Canada, about 90 kilometers (56 mi) north of Gatineau. It is known for its crystal clear water and is surrounded by cottages on its shores.
The blue waters of Blue Sea Lake, together with its dimensions and the absence of significant relief around, create the illusion of a sea.[1] It feeds the Blue Sea River which empties into the Picanoc River, in turn a tributary of the Gatineau River. Its name first appeared on a map of Hull County in 1928.[2]
Just over 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) to the west, in Cayamant, is another, somewhat smaller lake called Lac de la Mer Bleue, which also means "Blue Sea Lake". To distinguish between these two lakes, the English name is used for the larger one, even in French.[3]
