The "Lac La Flippe" is a body of fresh water located in the territory of the town of Baie-Saint-Paul, in the Charlevoix Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada .
Lac La Flippe constitutes the head water of the Bras du Nord-Ouest. This lake embedded between two mountains is entirely located in an area where forestry has always been the predominant economic activity. In the middle of the 19th century, recreational tourism activities took off. This lake is normally frozen from the beginning of December until the beginning of April; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
Secondary forest roads connected to the east at route 138 serve the eastern part of the hydrographic side of Lac La Flippe.
