The Lake of the Cross is located in Upper Batiscanie, in the municipality of Lac-Édouard in La Tuque (census division), in the administrative region the Mauricie in province of Quebec, in Canada. Located about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) (by water) of Lac Édouard (Quebec) which is the head of Batiscan River, the "Lake of the cross" is a segment of path of the Batiscan river, near Triton Club. This wild sector grew on forestry and tourism upon the arrival of the railway CNR (subdivision Lac-Saint-Jean) connecting Hervey-Jonction to Chambord (Lac Saint-Jean), through the Lac-Édouard, in the late 19th century.
