The Hanotaux Bay is a freshwater body located in the south-west part of Gouin Reservoir, in the territory of the town of La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
This bay extends mainly in the canton of Hanotaux (part South-East) in the south-western part of the Gouin Reservoir. This bay is partially overflowing in Crémazie township (east side) and Poisson township (south side).
Recreotourism activities are the main economic activity of the sector. Forestry comes second.
A forest road running west of Pascagama River serves Hanotaux Bay. The R1009 Forest Road runs from the west side of Mattawa Bay into the lower Flapjack River into the northern part of Hanotaux Bay and the southern portion of Bureau Lake (Gouin Reservoir). This R1009 road joins the Southeast route 404 which serves the northern part of the Canadian National Railway.
The surface of Hanotaux Bay is usually frozen from mid-November to the end of April, however, safe ice circulation is generally from early December to late March.
