Kenogami lake is a long lake in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of south-central Quebec,[1] Canada. Situated at an altitude of 150 m, the lake is 27 km long and 11 to 102 m deep. "Kénogami" means "long lake" in the Montagnais dialect and was originally used to refer to Kenogami Lake, Ontario.[1]
It is situated in the Laurentian Highlands 150 kilometres north of the Saint Lawrence River, into which it drains via the Saguenay River through the Chicoutimi and Aux-Sables Rivers.
The lake is fed by dozens of small rivers coming from the Laurentian Highlands. The three principal being the Pikauba, Cyriac and Aux-Ecorces Rivers. The towns on its shores include Lac-Kénogami, and Hébertville station.
