The lac Savane (English: Savannah lake) is a body of fresh water located northeast of the city of Quebec, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. This body of water straddles the regional county municipalities of:
- La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality: in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier (southwest part of the lake);
- Charlevoix Regional County Municipality: in the unorganized territory of Lac-Pikauba (northeast part of the lake).
Savane Lake is served by a few secondary forest roads for forestry purposes. Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
Because of the altitude, the surface of Savane Lake is generally frozen from the end of November to the beginning of April; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally done from the beginning of December until the beginning of April.
