Cherrier Lake is a body of freshwater in the north-eastern part of Senneterre in the Vallée-de-l'Or Regional County Municipality (RCM), in the administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
Cherrier Lake is located in the township of Mesplet and Cherrier. Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector. Recreational tourism activities come second.
