The Lake Frontier is a lake located entirely in the municipality of Lac-Frontière, Quebec in regional county municipality (RCM) Montmagny in the administrative region of Chaudière-Appalaches, in Quebec, in Canada.
From 1915, the small town South of the lake, called "Lac-Frontière" (English: Lake-Frontier), has had some development through the terminus of the Central Quebec railway.
In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the forest industry was the main economic activity of the region. Upon arrival of the railroad, the recreational and tourist vocation of the region has significantly developed.
Frontier lake supplies water by its tributary the Northwest Black River (from the North) and the Creek Reservoir (from the West). The village in the municipality of Lac-Frontière, Quebec is located at South of the lake.

- 0.9 kilometres (0.56 mi) West of the Canada-US border;
- 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) North of the village center of Lac-Frontière, Quebec;
