Lake Manicouagan is the deepest lacustrine basin in eastern North America. • Proglacial, postglacial and reservoir stages characterize the evolution of the basin. • Lake level changes are inferred from subaerial and subaqueous terraces. • Significant slope processes are illustrated from basin-wide mass-movements.
