Lake Mistassini (French: Lac Mistassini) is the largest natural lake by surface area in the province of Quebec, Canada, with a total surface area of approximately 2,335 square kilometres (902 sq mi)[1] and a net area (water surface area only) of 2,164 square kilometres (836 sq mi).[2] It is located in the Jamésie region of the province, approximately 360 kilometers (220 mi) east of James Bay.[3] The Cree town of Mistissini is located on Watson Peninsula in the south-east corner of the lake, which separates Baie du Poste from Abatagouche Bay.
Extensive forests of spruce, birch, pine, and fir trees, which support a booming forestry industry, surround the lake.
Significant tributaries flowing into the lake include: Chalifour, Pépeshquasati, Takwa, Témiscamie, and Wabissinane.
Other nearby lakes include Lake Albanel and Lake Troilus.
