Location
Lake Schmon is in the unorganized territory of Lac-Walker, Sept-Rivières Regional County Municipality, Quebec.[1] As of November 2021 the Commission de toponymie of Quebec had not determined the origin or meaning of the name.[2] The Schmon River, which flows through the lake, is named after Arthur A. Schmon (1895-1964), president and general manager of the Quebec North Shore Paper Company. Lake Arthur is also named after Schmon.[3]
Hydrology
The lake is southeast of the Lac aux Chiens. It has two roughly equal sections joined by a channel. The Schmon River enters the northern section from the northwest, and leaves the southern section from the southeast.[4]
