Plamondon Bay is a freshwater body situated in the western part of Gouin Reservoir, within the territory of the town of La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie, Quebec, Canada.
This bay predominantly extends across the townships of Hanotaux (western part) and Crémazie.
The primary economic activity in the region revolves around recreational tourism, with forestry following as a secondary activity.
The hydrographic terrain of Plamondon Bay is accessible via the R1045 forest road originating from Obedjiwan village, Quebec, and passing along the northwest perimeter of Gouin Reservoir. It is also accessible through the R1009 forest road that skirts the western side of Plamondon Bay and Hanotaux Bay. These two roads intersect approximately 9.1 kilometres (5.7mi) northwest of the mouth of Plamondon Creek. An auxiliary road, oriented in a North-South direction and branching into various forest pathways, provides access to the western side of Plamondon Bay and Plamondon Creek. Another road, also oriented North-South, runs along the eastern side.
Typically, the surface of Plamondon Bay freezes from mid-November until the end of April. However, secure ice circulation generally takes place from early December to the conclusion of March.

Plamondon Bay, which is a length of 13.2 kilometres (8.2mi), looks like a witch's arm: the south-west part of the bay is the hand with long scratched fingers, the area of the exit of the bay constitutes the misshapen elbow and the northern part represents the upper part up to the witch's shoulder. This body of water is described as follows:
the northern part of the bay stretches over 3.8 kilometres (2.4mi) forming several secondary bays and collecting the waters of Plamondon Creek (coming from the North);
the southwestern part includes a bay of 8.6 kilometres (5.3mi) stretching as far as the canton of Hanotaux;
the South-East part (attached to the bend of the bay) has an archipelago whose largest island has a length of 1.5 kilometres (0.93mi), as well as numerous bays and peninsulas. This part of the bay stretches to the south-east to the exit of the bay which narrows through two straits of a width of about 200 meters each before reaching the west shore of the Du Mâle Lake (Gouin Reservoir).
Plamondon Bay is mainly fed by the Plamondon Creek which flows to the bottom of the northern part of Plamondon Bay at 1.8 kilometres (1.1mi) south of the southern limit of the Lacasse township.
