Lake Walker is a lake in Quebec, Canada. It is located in the Sept-Rivières Regional County Municipality in the region of Côte-Nord, about 30 km northwest of Port-Cartier.[1]
Like many of the lakes in the region, it is highly elongated, being 33 km long and no more than 4 km wide, and has steep rocky sides. A 2011 survey established its depth at 280 metres, making it the deepest lake in Quebec, ahead of the Pingualuit crater in Nunavik (252 m).
It is named for Hovenden Walker, and gives its name to the Lac-Walker unorganized territory.
The southern tip of the lake flows into the Aux Rochers River which carries its water to the Saint-Lawrence River about 30 km to the southeast.
