Plamondon Bay is a freshwater body situated in the western part of Gouin Reservoir, within the territory of the town of La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie, Quebec, Canada.
This bay predominantly extends across the townships of Hanotaux (western part) and Crémazie.
The primary economic activity in the region revolves around recreational tourism, with forestry following as a secondary activity.
The hydrographic terrain of Plamondon Bay is accessible via the R1045 forest road originating from Obedjiwan village, Quebec, and passing along the northwest perimeter of Gouin Reservoir. It is also accessible through the R1009 forest road that skirts the western side of Plamondon Bay and Hanotaux Bay. These two roads intersect approximately 9.1 kilometres (5.7 mi) northwest of the mouth of Plamondon Creek. An auxiliary road, oriented in a North-South direction and branching into various forest pathways, provides access to the western side of Plamondon Bay and Plamondon Creek. Another road, also oriented North-South, runs along the eastern side.
Typically, the surface of Plamondon Bay freezes from mid-November until the end of April. However, secure ice circulation generally takes place from early December to the conclusion of March.
