Lac Pohénégamook is a freshwater lake measuring 9.1 km in length, located in the Témiscouata Regional County Municipality within the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of southeastern Quebec. It sits immediately north of the international boundary with Maine (Aroostook County, USA) and serves as the source of the Saint Francis River. The lake is ranked among the top ten most beautiful lakes in Quebec for boating and water recreation.

The primary Plage Pohénégamook, located at 50 chemin Tête du Lac in the town of Pohénégamook. This facility operates seasonally from June to September and charges an access fee. Canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards are available for daily rental (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) at a flat rate, making it a practical option for paddlers who prefer not to bring their own equipment. Catamarans and windsurfing boards are also available through the on-site Nautik Zone. The beach area includes a supervised swimming zone, which paddlers should be aware of when launching or returning to shore.

The town of Pohénégamook has implemented a controlled-access watercraft washing station at the lake, reflecting active management of aquatic invasive species (AIS). Fisheries and Oceans Canada has conducted outreach at the lake specifically focused on AIS prevention, and the camping and beach operator has certified all rental watercraft as washed and decontaminated. Paddlers bringing their own boats should expect to use the washing station and comply with any access control procedures in place.

The lake's surroundings include views of distant mountains and the broader Témiscouata landscape. The beach facility also offers a campsite with rustic, electric, and three-service sites directly adjacent to the water, providing a convenient overnight option for paddlers planning multi-day stays. The lake is described as having calm waters suitable for recreational paddling. Given its location in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, the paddling season aligns with the summer months, with the main beach and rental services operating June through September.
