It lies 13.9 km north of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 351°T), and is situated 9.3 km east of Saint-Sauveur.

The Rivière-du-Nord, a vital artery, threads its way through this territory, its waters reflecting the ever-changing Quebec sky, sometimes a placid mirror, at other times a lively, tumbling presence carving its path through ancient rock. The very air here seems to hold a certain quietude, a palpable stillness broken only by the rustle of leaves or the distant call of a loon. The history of Lac-des-Quatorze-Îles is inextricably linked to the natural bounty of the Rivière-du-Nord. For generations, this river was the lifeblood of the region, powering mills and facilitating the transport of timber, a quiet testament to the industry that once thrived here. Later, the allure of the pristine waters and the surrounding wilderness drew summer visitors, establishing a tradition of seasonal retreat that continues to shape the character of Lac-des-Quatorze-Îles. The economy, while diversified now, still carries the scent of pine and the memory of flowing water, with many residents finding their livelihoods in tourism, small-scale agriculture, and the enduring connection to the natural world. The distinctive charm of Lac-des-Quatorze-Îles lies in this harmonious blend of past and present, where the echoes of its founding are still heard in the gentle lapping of the lake against its many shores.
