Lac de la Savane is located on the north side of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant in Quebec, a park encompassing six major rivers and approximately 400 lakes and streams. The lake is part of the La Diable sector of the park and is accessible via a designated parking area and launch point, with campsites situated between 1 and 5 km by paddle from that access point.

The lake offers 20 paddle-in campsites, clustered in groups of four around the shoreline. These rustic sites are set on sandy shores, and the lake is typically paired with nearby Lac Rossi as a destination within the same sector. Both lakes are covered by the La Diable canoe camping map, which is available for download or purchase at the park and is recommended for trip planning.

Discovery packages are available from May through September, which bundle canoe equipment rental, firewood, and a camping permit — a practical option for those without their own gear. The park requires a camping permit for overnight stays, and paddlers should consult the park directly for current regulations and reservation requirements.

The surrounding territory supports 40 species of mammals, and loons are noted as a presence on the lake. The sandy shoreline character distinguishes these lakes from more rugged backcountry settings, and the overall paddling experience is oriented toward calm lake travel rather than moving water. The relatively short paddle distances from the launch — ranging from 1 to 5 km — make the lake accessible for paddlers of varying experience levels, though the paddle-in requirement means all gear must be carried by canoe or kayak.

For those planning a multi-day trip in the park's north sector, Lac de la Savane and Lac Rossi are commonly combined as destinations. Paddlers interested in the east side of the park would instead reference the L'Assomption canoe camping map for routes on Lac de L'Assomption and the L'Assomption River.
