Description
Le lac Saint-François (anglais : Lake St. Francis) est un lac frontalier bordant le sud-est de l'Ontario et le sud-ouest du Québec au Canada, de même que le nord de l'état de New York aux États-Unis. Il se trouve sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent entre le lac Ontario et l'archipel d'Hochelaga. L'étendue d'eau divise la région du Suroît au Québec de la MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulanges au Québec et des comtés unis de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry en Ontario, alors que le lac touche en amont en rive droite le comté de St. Lawrence dans l'état de New York.
Le lac Saint-François constitue un segment large du système hydrologique du Saint-Laurent et des Grands Lacs, entre deux parties fluviales du haut Saint-Laurent, soit à partir d'Akwesasne en amont jusqu'à Salaberry-de-Valleyfield en aval. Long de 50 km, il est large d'au plus 8 km. Il est situé dans les basses terres du Saint-Laurent. C’est un lac fluvial, à l’instar du lac Saint-Louis et du lac Saint-Pierre, tous deux situés en aval sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent.

Lake Saint Francis (in French: Lac Saint-François) is a lake which borders southeastern Ontario, southwestern Quebec and northern New York State. It is located on the Saint Lawrence River between Lake Ontario and Montreal. The lake forms part of the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
The city of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield is located at the east end of the lake.
Lac Saint-François National Wildlife Area, located on the south shore of the lake, protects wetlands located on the shores of the lake. This area provides important habitat for Redhead ducks and other waterfowl. Thousands of migrating waterfowl stop over in this region. In 1987, it was recognized as a wetland of international significance under the Ramsar Convention.
The Charlottenburgh Marsh, including Cooper Marsh, is an important wetland area located on the north shore of the lake.
