The Éternité Lake is a body of water tributary of the Éternité River and the Saguenay River. It is located in the municipality of Rivière-Éternité, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality of the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. The Éternité Lake straddles the townships of Brébeuf and Hébert. This lake is integrated into the zec du Lac-au-Sable, a controlled exploitation zone.
The northern part of Éternité Lake is served by route 170, that is the main street (east–west direction) which runs south of Otis Lake going west. Few other secondary forest roads serve the lake sector for forestry and recreational tourism activities.
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of Lake Eternity is usually frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to the end of March.
