The Des Vents Lake (French: Lac des Vents) is a freshwater body of the southeastern portion of Eeyou Istchee James Bay (municipality), in the North-West of Quebec, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. The area of "Lac des Vents" extends in the townships of Lescure, Druillettes, Rasles and Hazeur, on the territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay (municipality) regional government, south of Chapais, Quebec.
Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector. Recreational tourism activities come second, notably thanks to various navigable water bodies located in the area.
