Since January 1, 2002, Lac-à-la-Tortue has become one of the seven sectors of the new merged Shawinigan city. The Lac-à-la-Tortue area is located east of the Saint-Maurice River near the former town of Grand-Mère, east of the former city of Saint-Georges, south of Hérouxville and west of Saint-Narcisse. Lac-à-la-Tortue sector takes its toponymic origin of the lake of the same name.

The discharge of the lake flows north into the (Turtle River), who joined the Rivière des Envies (Cravings River) in Saint-Stanislas.

  • Lac-à-la-Tortue est une ancienne municipalité du Québec située en Mauricie. Fondée en 1895, elle fait désormais partie intégrante de la nouvelle ville de Shawinigan depuis les fusions de 2002. Elle en est devenue un des sept secteurs de la nouvelle ville fusionnée. Le secteur Lac-à-la-Tortue tire son origine toponymique du lac du même nom. Malgré sa proximité avec la rivière Saint-Maurice (seulement trois km au plus rapproché), ce lac fait partie du bassin hydrographique de la Batiscanie. La décharge du lac se déverse vers le nord dans la rivière à la Tortue, qui rejoint la rivière des Envies dans Saint-Stanislas. Ce lac constitue la plus vieille base civile d'hydravion au Canada. Depuis le XXe siècle, ce lac constitue un centre de villégiature fort réputé. Le 16 mai 2016, sont entrés en vigueur plus de 315 changements de nom de rues. (fr)
