This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chemin-du-Lac, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Chemin-du-Lac.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Chemin-du-Lac is a hamlet in Notre-Dame-du-Portage; Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Chemin-du-Lac is located at 47.7442°N, 69.5453°W.
Chemin-du-Lac rests along the expansive reach of the St. Lawrence, where the horizon dissolves into the cooling grey of the northern tides. It lies 10.2 km south of Rivière-du-Loup, QC (from Rivière-du-Loup, QC: bearing 184°T), and is situated 9.1 km north-east of Saint-Alexandre-de-Kamouraska. Near the promontory of Le Cap, the land slopes toward the Rivière du Loup, catching the salt-tinged air that drifts inland from the estuary. The light here holds a particular clarity at dusk, turning the water into a sheet of hammered pewter while the shadows lengthen across the low fields. To the southeast, Lac à Raphaël sits tucked within the landscape, a quiet basin that mirrors the changing seasons, while the distant, rhythmic roar of the Chutes de Rivière-du-Loup echoes the persistent motion of the regional waterways. The heritage of Chemin-du-Lac reflects the steady labor of those who turned the soil and navigated the currents of Notre-Dame-du-Portage and the surrounding districts. Agriculture and local trade have long defined the character of the people, who maintain a quiet connection to the land and the river’s edge. Modern life here proceeds with a deliberate focus, grounded in the seasonal cycles that dictate the harvest and the maintenance of the homesteads. Even as the modern world shifts, the inhabitants of Chemin-du-Lac keep their gaze toward the horizon, finding a persistent beauty in the way the morning fog lifts from the banks of the Rivière du Loup to reveal the enduring simplicity of the coast.
Chemin-du-Lac s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du large rencontre la rigueur paisible des terres agricoles. À proximité du Cap, les vents marins viennent caresser les champs qui s’inclinent doucement vers les eaux, tandis que la Rivière du Loup serpente non loin pour offrir ses méandres à la topographie locale. Dans cette lumière déclinante qui semble suspendre le mouvement des heures, le paysage se déploie avec une précision minérale, souligné par la présence discrète du Lac à Raphaël à sept kilomètres de distance, miroir sombre niché dans le relief environnant. À dix kilomètres, le grondement sourd des Chutes de Rivière-du-Loup impose un rythme tellurique à la quiétude des environs, rappelant la puissance brute des cours d’eau qui façonnent ce territoire depuis des siècles. Chemin-du-Lac conserve une identité singulière, marquée par une ruralité tenace et une fidélité aux cycles de la terre, loin de l’agitation urbaine. Les habitants y partagent une existence rythmée par la marée et les variations du climat, cultivant une mémoire collective qui se lit dans les alignements des fermes et la persistance des chemins anciens, où chaque virage révèle une fidélité inaltérable aux horizons du fleuve.
