Lake Tremblant (French: Lac Tremblant) is a lake in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada, at the foot of the eponymous Mont Tremblant.[1] South of the lake is the city of Mont-Tremblant, and the municipality of Lac-Tremblant-Nord borders on the western and northern sides of the lake.

Lac Tremblant, wedged between mountainous ridges, is a long and narrow lake with about 7 islands and 5 prominent bays. Surrounded by a dense mixed forest, the lake is situated in the transition zone between the deciduous forests of the Saint Lawrence valley and Canada's boreal forests.[2]
