The Lac au Sable is a body of water crossed from south to north by the Petit Saguenay River, in the unorganized territory of Mont-Élie, in the Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality of the administrative region Capitale-Nationale, in Quebec, Canada.
The south-eastern part of "Lac au Sable" is served by the forest road R064. This road approaches to 0.6 km (0.37 mi) south of "Lac au Bouleau".[1]
Forestry is the sector's main economic activity; recreotourism activities, second.
The surface of "Lac au Sable" is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to the end of March.
