La Trêve Lake is a freshwater body of the southern part of Eeyou Istchee James Bay (municipality), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.

The surface of the lake is largely in the cantons of Daine and Guettard; in addition, Rita Bay (in the South) extends into the canton of La Ribourde. Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector. Recreational tourism activities come second.

The hydrographic slope of La Trêve Lake is accessible via a forest road from the South and serving the western part of the lake; this road links to road 113 linking Lebel-sur-Quévillon to Chibougamau. The surface of "Lac la Trêve" is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.
