Missionary Lake
Missionary Lake (named "Grand lac long" (Grand Long Lake) ) is located in the municipalities of Trois-Rives and Lac-aux-Sables in the Mekinac Regional County Municipality (RCM), in Batiscanie, in the administrative area of the Mauricie, in the province of Quebec, Canada. It is named in honour of missionary and explorer Paul Le Jeune, one of the founders of the Jesuit mission that was opened in 1634 in nearby Trois-Rivières, Quebec.
== History ==
In Aboriginal history, the Mekinac River and Missionary Lake together served as paths between the Saint-Maurice River and Batiscan River. In winter, this route was also very useful for forest contractors using horse-drawn sleighs to access logging areas around Missionary Lake or Mekinac Lake.The need for this path for forestry was greatly reduced when a railway was completed in 1908 in the nearby Tawachiche sector connecting Hervey-Jonction to La Tuque. Today, this Mekinac/Missionary route is used recreationally by snowmobiles and ATVs between early December and late March.
In 1938, the Groleau Company built a sawmill at the south end of Missionary Lake, 4.3 km from Hervey-Jonction. On June 27, 1955, the mill was destroyed by a fire. It was rebuilt in the village of Sainte-Thècle, opposite the train station and next to the Groleau factory.〔Gaétan Veillette, article "Josaphat Groleau et Rose-Blanche Gervais - 15 enfants baptisés à Saint-Thècle - 1921 to 1939 (8 boys, 7 girls), "Répertoire des baptêmes de Sainte-Thècle" (Directory of baptisms in Sainte-Thècle - 1869-2012), published by the Fabrique of Sainte-Thècle, QC, p. 50.〕
Today, the region's economy is based on tourism and forestry. The area is suitable for hunting, fishing, camping, water activities, nature observation and gathering wild fruit.
