The whole outline is near 2.9 km, and most of it is walkable. It is low-lying compared with other Quebec water we list. Baie-Comeau is the closest town at 38 km. After that come Hauterive at 47 km and Matane at 57 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lac des Cedres

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Côte-Nord records list logperch among the fish reported. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Read Lac des Cedres for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -14°C to 16°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near late November in autumn. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Plan any trip to Lac des Cedres around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Lac du Pere-Alfred is 1.8 km distant. Treat Lac des Cedres as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
