The Lake Dana is a freshwater body of the territory of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in the province of Quebec, at Canada.

The Dana Lake Hydrographic watershed is accessible via the forest road to the north from Matagami passing at {{convert|13.4|km}} to the West of the lake. The surface of the lake is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.

Geography

This lake has a length of {{convert|37.5|km}} with two parts, a maximum width of {{convert|7.5|km}} in the southern part and an altitude of {{convert|241|m}}. Kapunamisi Point advances Northeast on {{convert|6.4|km}}, separating the lake into two parts.

The northern part is crescent-shaped and has a navigable length of {{convert|60|km}} including the bay of the Utamikaneu River. It receives on the West side the waters of the Utamikaneu River and on the North side the discharge of Du Tast Lake. The northern part of the lake includes Wapushunikw Peninsula, Kaupakameyach Point and Chipikamikw Point.

The southern part (length: {{convert|12.7|km}}) of the lake receives the waters of the [Pauschikushish Ewiwach River], the Enistustikweyach River and the Upaunan River. These last two rivers flow into Kapichiwashahach Bay. The Mitapeschikaw hill is located west of the southern part of the lake and the Epaschipich hill to the East.

Lake Dana has many bays and peninsulas. The two parts of the lake are interconnected by a strait with a length of {{convert|3.8|km}} and whose width varies between {{convert|0.3|km}} and {{convert|0.5|km}}. The area around Lake Dana has many marshes.
